EWING, N.J. - The TCNJ men's soccer team lost a tight matchup under the lights of Lions Stadium Wednesday night against Drew by a score of 3-1.
 
The first half was very back and forth for both teams. Drew had majority of possession early which led to an early goal. TCNJ had most of the ball in the second part of the half which led to a Jake Gershon goal in the 37^th minute.
 
Luke Pascarella made multiple moves to weave in and out of defenders and pushed a pass to Gershon just inside the box. Gershon sent a low running shot into the bottom right corner of the net to knot the game at one apiece.
 
The Rangers were sending shots at goalkeeper Julian Franco all night with 11 shots and six on goal in the first half.
 
Drew took the lead back just after the start of the second half with a beautiful header off a free kick from 10 yards outside the box. The Rangers tacked on one more goal in the 86^th minute and held on for the last five.
 
The Lions had plenty of opportunities in the second half but were not able to come away with the equalizer after Drew jumped in front early in the period. When the Rangers extended the lead, it was too late for the Lions to make it a contest.
 
The Lions return home Saturday to take on No. 11 Stevens at noon.
