Men's Soccer Shuts Out NYU 2-0 In Home Opener

Montclair, NJ - The Montclair State University men's soccer team topped NYU 2-0 in their season opener Friday night. 

HOW IT HAPPENED 
  • AMER LUKOVIC started the evening out strong for the Red Hawks as he headed in the first goal of the season off a cross just inside the box by ANDRE SHELTON in the third minute of the game. 
  • SHANE KEENAN had a clutch save in the 28th minute to keep Montclair ahead, as the Red Hawks had four more shots in the first half as Lukovic and ANTHONY VIOLA had two each.
  • The game's second goal came off a long ball over the top from IAN CHESNEY, corralled by Lukovic, who got around his defender and poked it past the keeper. 
  • The Red Hawks continued to apply pressure but had several chances denied by NYU's Luca Mancuso, including a lunging save in the second half.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Lukovic led the Red Hawks with five shots and two goals. Viola was close behind, recording five shots. 
  • Keenan ended the day with three saves. 
  • Montclair outshot NYU 14-7, putting nine shots on target compared to NYU's three.
FROM THE FIELD
"I thought it was great, it was a complete team effort. Defensively, we did well, we were able to score goals. I think we could have probably got a couple more goals, which would have made the game a little bit better for us. All in all, for the first game, you don't really know what to expect with NYU, but it was a good match." 
-Head Coach Todd Tumelty 

UP NEXT
The Red Hawks face the Hunter at home in their next matchup on Sunday at 4:00 pm.
