MONTCLAIR, N.J.- The TCNJ men's soccer team dropped an NJAC matchup to No. 13 Montclair St. on Saturday by a score of 7-3.
Â
The first half was an offensive highlight reel for both teams, featuring five goals between the two sides.
Â
The first-place Red Hawks (11-1-1, 6-0) found two quick goals in the first eleven minutes on a shot from the left side into the bottom right corner of the net as well as a penalty kick.
Â
TCNJ cut the lead in half in the 22nd minute on a beautiful header by
Justin Dominique, assisted by
Sebastian Hernandez on a chip pass that found its way past the diving goalie.
Â
Dominique now has three points in the last two games with the goal and an assist on Wednesday.
Â
Montclair St. answered in a hurry with another great shot from the left side, this time going upper 90.
Â
The fifth and final goal of the half came from another header, this time by
Luke Pascarella and assisted by
Julien Carraha on a cross from the left side.
Â
Unfortunately, TCNJ could not find the same offensive firepower in the second half while the Red Hawks tacked on four more.
Â
Despite being a man down, sophomore
Daniel Grund knocked in his second goal of the season in the final minute of regulation on a feed from
Gavin Grecsek. The assist marked Grescek's first career point.
Â
The Lions will regroup after tonight's loss and prepare for a home NJAC matchup against Rowan on Wednesday at 6:00 PM.
