Men's Soccer Picks Up Road Victory

Violets Top Farmingdale State 2-1



The New York University men's soccer team picked up the 2-1 victory over Farmingdale State College on Tuesday night, October 6, on the road in Farmingdale, NY.

The Violets (4-6) got their offense from Malcolm Montilus and Ricardo Mitrano. In the 30th minute to give NYU the 1-0 lead, Montilus got free on a breakaway and put the ball past the Rams' (6-5) keeper for his third goal of the season.

NYU came out of the lockerroom with the lead, but Farmingdale State evened it up at 1-1 in the 69th minute. The tie was short-live though, as Mitrano came back for the Violets to score the game-winner in the 72nd minute. The NYU rookie took a pass from Tristan Medios-Simon down the sideline. Mitrano booted it from 10 yards out to beat the Rams' keeper once more for his second-career goal.

"The guys handled themselves with great composure when Farmingdale equalized," continued Wyant. "We stayed mentally focused and were able to get the go-ahead goal and finish the match out strong."

HIGHLIGHTS:

- Lucas Doucette recorded two saves for his fourth victory of the season.

- NYU held the advantage in shots on goal 4-3.

- Nic Notaro led the Violets with four total shots.

"It was a great team effort with many making an important contribution to the win," said NYU Head Coach Kim Wyant. "We saw many of the items we covered in practice being implemented."

NYU will return to the pitch on Saturday, October 10, when it travels to Pittsburgh, PA, for a University Athletic Association (UAA) matchup with #13 (D3Soccer.com) Carnegie Mellon University.
