BETHANY, W.Va. — Justin Wilkinson scored the only goal of the day, in the 89th minute, as Bethany spoiled the season debut of Frostburg State in men’s soccer Wednesday afternoon.

Wilkinson checked into the game at 80:47 and less than eight minutes later scored on the game’s final shot off a free kick at 88:09.
FSU goalkeeper Stephen Cavallo made four saves.
