SCOUTING BINGHAMTON

Binghamton (9-7-2) rallied for a 3-2, double-overtime win at Stony Brook in the America East quarterfinals on Saturday. Graduate student midfielder Pascal Trappe netted the game winner with five minutes left in the period. Junior forward Alex Varkatzas assisted on both goals in regulation, including Nikkos Psarras' tying goal in the 87th minute.

Trappe leads the Bearcats with six goals and 13 total points so far this season. Junior back Zach Galluzzo, who scored the first goal against the Seawolves, had scored four times this season. Freshman midfielder Harrison Weilbacher has a team-best four assists.

SCOUTING ALBANY

Albany (10-7-2) won its first-ever America East regular-season title with a 3-1 win at Binghamton last Wednesday. The Great Danes had a first-round bye in the tournament. Afonso Pinheiro, who was named the America East Striker of the Year, finished with a goal and an assist in the win over the Bearcats.

AE TOURNAMENT HISTORY

Binghamton and Albany have met twice before in the America East semifinals. Both games were at Albany but both games were won by the Bearcats.

In 2004, Binghamton scored a pair of second-half goals to record a 3-1 victory. In 2008, Cameron Keith's goal in the second overtime period lifted the Bearcats to a 1-0 triumph.

WORTH NOTING

Zach Galluzzo has scored a goal in each of the Bearcats' last two America East tournament games. He netted a goal against Hartford in the semifinals last year.

Binghamton's three first-team all-conference selections (Trappe, Galluzzo and junior goalkeeper Robert Moewes) represent its highest total since 2007.

The Bearcats are 4-1-2 in seven previous trips to the America East semifinals. Last season, Binghamton dropped a 2-1 overtime decision at Hartford. Its last win came in the 2008 victory at Albany.
