On This Day In History | 1996

The ’96 Bears

On this day 22 years ago, the boys’ soccer team dropped Smithtown Christian in overtime.

The Bears trailed 0-2 at the halftime break, but used a four-goal second half to force overtime. Heiko Huber’s 25-yard goal with 14:30 left in regulation, courtesy of a pass from Jay Miaritis, forced extra time. In overtime, Sean Metz scored twice, including one with 30 seconds left in the first extra period, to cap the 6-4 comeback win.

Liam Banks, Michael Keller, and Moore Onyekaba also added goals for the Brook. Michael Jayson registered 14 saves between the posts.
