It marked the second straight win for the Lions (2-1) as their offense has caught fire, tallying nine goals in the past two games.

Costelloe returned the favor to Kaye, assisting on his first career netter.

Kaye then tallied his first career goal before the intermission to provide TCNJ with a three-goal cushion.
 
With 15 minutes remaining in the second half, senior Jason O'Donnell (Toms River, NJ/Toms River North) took a long feed from junior Andrew Kimball (Seaville, NJ/Ocean City) and beat the York goalkeeper for his second goal of the season.
