Men's Soccer Comes Through In
Overtime Over NYU, 1-0
Newark, N.J. (9/3/08) - Freshman forward Sergio
Marchuk (Wallington, N.J.) netted the game-winner just
under two minutes into overtime to propel the Cougars to their
first win of the season by defeating New York University, 1-0,
Wednesday evening.
In a game where both teams struggled on the offensive side of
the field, Marchuk (pictured right) took a feed from Dennis
Correia (Elizabeth, N.J.) during a run upfield, took
advantage of a quick opening in the NYU defense and helped Kean
(1-1-1) pick up its first victory of the season while ruining the
Violets' (0-1) season debut.
NYU owned a 10-5 edge on shots and a 7-1 advantage on corner kicks,
but neither team capitalized upon the few offensive opportunities
presented.
Keeper Alfredo Oquendo (North Plainfield, N.J.)
collected two saves in the win.
