OSEI BONSU (Parlin, NJ/Old Bridge) had given the Red Hawks a 1-0 lead in the 14th minute as he took a pass from freshman MATT CASWELL (Piscataway, NJ/Piscataway) and fired a shot past Roanoke goaltender CHRIS EBELING.

DAVE MATTHEWS extended the lead to 3-1 in the 76th minute before McConnell made it a three-goal advantage 81:10 into the match. Matthews accounted for the final goal.
