Ramapo’s men’s soccer team defeated #1 seed Rutgers University-Camden on Saturday, Oct. 19, at an away NJAC tournament game on Rutgers’ campus, 3-1.
This game brings Ramapo to an 8-1-5 overall total and 3-1-2 in the NJAC season. Rutgers-Camden falls to 11-5-1 overall and 4-2-1 in the conference season.
The Roadrunners controlled their lead from minute 27 to the end of the game. For the first goal, Senior midfielder Nick Petrozziello scored from a pass given by freshman midfielder Raul Macedo, bringing the score to 1-0.
The Scarlet Raptors brought the game to a tie 12 minutes later, marking the last goal of the half. By halftime, Rutgers-Camden held a lead in shots, 4-3.
Not much action occurred in the second half until 7:47 was all that remained in the game. That is when senior forward and team captain Joseph Fala received a long pass from freshman defense Mark Buckel. The Roadrunners then redeemed their lead, 2-1.
Just a few minutes later, right before the buzzer roared to signify a Ramapo victory, Fala scored yet another goal by a pass from Petrozziello, finalizing the score at 3-1.
Fala scoring two goals this game is a season-high for the captain.
In the second half, Ramapo led in shots (10-3) and corner kicks (2-1) while Rutgers-Camden led in saves, 2-1.
Goalkeeper Joshua Shaffer gets the win to improve to 5-0-3 for this ongoing season thus far.
