The Golden Falcons answered with four runs in the top of the fourth to open up a 7-2 advantage. The big blow was a two-run triple from Mickey Zudonyi.
Felician would add an unearned run in the eighth to take an 8-2 lead. The Mavericks then made it 8-3 on Cohen's blast over the left field fence to lead off the ninth, but they could pull no closer as Felician reliever Anthony Spina got the next three batters in order to end the game.
The Mavericks will resume East Coast Conference play on Saturday when they host Adelphi for a pair beginning at Noon.
