Hoboken, NJ … Stevens Institute of Technology rallied for three unanswered goals in the second half to turn back The College of New Jersey men's soccer team, 3-1 on Wednesday in Hoboken, NJ.
 
Following a scoreless first half, the Lions (1-2) drew first blood just over two minutes after the intermission. Senior Domenic Polidoro (Monroe, NJ/Monroe) lofted a cross in the air off of a set piece, and freshman Sam Monaco (Point Pleasant Boro, NJ/Point Pleasant Boro) found the back of the net with a header to put TCNJ on top. It was the first collegiate goal for Monaco.
 
The Ducks (1-1), however, responded quickly with the equalizer less than two minutes later on a goal by Tommy Dorsay. They took a 2-1 advantage in the 62^nd minute, and secured their first victory of the season when Dorsay tallied for the second time with just under 13 minutes remaining in the game.
 
Steven goalkeeper Aaron Henry was forced to make five saves in the game, including a penalty kick late in the second period. Lions' starting keeper Jake Nesteruk (Doylestown, Pa/Central Bucks  East) made three stops, while sophomore Dan Walsh (Waldwick, NJ/Waldwick) entered late in the second half and also registered a save.
