No. 20 Men's Soccer Clips Vassar, 2-1

Poughkeepsie, NY – The No. 20 Montclair State men's soccer knocked off Vassar 2-1 Saturday afternoon.
 
OWEN MURPHY and AMER LUKOVIC delivered goals for the Red Hawks (4-0-3), who also received four saves from SHANE KEENAN.
 
Despite the Red Hawks earning two early corner kicks, the host Brewers got on the board on the first. Own Fauth notched an unassisted tally in the sixth minute, putting the hosts up 1-0. Montclair needed 3:24 to level the match at one, with Murphy recording his first tally of the year. Gaining the ball off a backward pass, Murphy cut toward the middle from 10 yards out the top of the box. Powering past a Vassar defender, he found an open shot, rifling the ball into the right corner past a diving goalkeeper.
 
Keenan made a big stop in the 48th minute, and Vassar nearly regained the lead off a set piece in the 57th minute. A header from Kyle Lopes went just high over the crossbar off a cross from Derek Sando. The Red Hawks grabbed their first lead of the afternoon in the 72nd minute off a header from Lukovic. A ball was played into the box and was initially cleared away, but Lukovic tracked it and headed home for his second marker of the year. The Brewers pressed for the equalizer, but their best opportunity was an 84th-minute try that hit off the post and was cleared by the Montclair State defense.
 
Lukovic led the way with six shots while JOSIAH CRAWFORD notched five.
 
The Red Hawks road home on Tuesday, hosting Penn State-Abington at 7 pm at MSU Soccer Park.
