Violets Fall at Montclair State

The New York University men's soccer team opened its 2023 campaign with a 2-0 loss at Montclair State University on Friday, September 1, in Montclair, NJ. 

Just a few minutes after the opening whistle, Montclair's Amer Lukovic scored the first of his two goals. His shot was sent into the lower left corner of the net and was assisted by Andre Shelton.

The game remained 1-0 until Lukovic connected again, this time at 59:08 unassisted, to conclude the scoring.

The Red Hawks out-shot the Violets 14-7, 9-3 on goal. 

Luca Mancuso was in net for NYU and mde six saves. Shane Keenan recorded the shutout for NYU. 

Arkan Tahsildaroglu took a team-high three shots for the Violets. 

"We didn't match the competitive level necessary to succeed tonight," said NYU Head Coach Kim Wyant. "It was a good learning experience as we look to rebound in our next match."  

NYU is back in action on Sunday, September 3, for the home opener. The Violets will face the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at 5:30pm at Rutgers Newark University in Newark, NJ.
