MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – After defeating No. 18 Florida Memorial 2-1 in the No. 4 Thomas' overtime Sun Conference opener on Friday, the Night Hawks were upset by St. Thomas University this afternoon in its 2-1 defeat.
 
Head coach Ricky Zambrano, who is a 1996 alum and former head coach at St. Thomas (1998-2001), reflected on today's match, "All the credit goes to STU today.  They out worked us and wanted the victory more."
 
The Bobcats took the 1-0 lead in the 18th minute when Kris Wilkinson connected with Tony Mamodaly for a strike from just inside the box.  It was Mamodaly's second goal of the 2015 season.
 
While the Bobcats entered the intermission with the 1-0 lead, Thomas battled back in the second half to equalize the match in the 59th minute.  Severin Abt and Jonathon McGrath made two swift passes to connect with freshman Connor Stanley for his first goal of his collegiate career.

In the 72nd minute, St. Thomas would convert the eventual game winner when Fabian Heinrich connected with Federico Moronell for the second Bobcat goal of the game and 2-1 lead.
 
With the loss, No. 4 Thomas drops to 7-2, 1-1 TSC, on the year while the Bobcats improve to 4-3, 2-0 TSC.

The Night Hawks return to action on Thursday, Oct. 1, when they travel to Babson Park, Fla., to face Sun Conference rival Webber International.  First touch is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
