Mahwah, NJ (10/29/05) - The Montclair State men's soccer season came to an end on Saturday as the Red Hawks were eliminated from the New Jersey Athletic Conference Tournament with a 2-1 loss at third-seeded Ramapo College.
It was the second time this year MSU, the No. 6 seed, fell to the Roadrunners. Montclair dropped a 2-0 decision in Mahwah back on October 1 and finishes the year at 10-7-2. The victory for Ramapo also avenged losses to MSU in the 2003 ECAC Metro title game and last year's first-round NJAC Tournament contest (a 1-0 win by Montclair at MSU Soccer Park).
After a scoreless 54 minutes, the Red Hawks jumped on top as junior
RYAN MORGAN scored his 10th goal of the season. However, just over a minute later, Ramapo would answer as Kevin Bradley knocked a shot past MSU goalkeeper
CHRIS OWEN, tying the game.
That's the way it stook until 12:54 to play as Bradley connected for the game-winner, his fourth goal of the season.
Ramapo netminder Mike Kull made six saves while Owen had seven.
Ramapo held a slim edge in shots, 14-13.Â
