Mahwah, NJ: The Roadrunner men's soccer team dropped a tough 1-0 overtime decision today to the Profs of Rowan University at the Athletic Center in Mahwah in a New Jersey Athletic Conference match-up. The loss is only Ramapo's second of the year. Ramapo falls to 9-2-1 overall, 2-2-1 in the conference while Rowan improves to 8-5-1 overall and 2-3-1 in the conference.
After 90 minutes of scoreless soccer, Ramapo and Rowan headed into overtime after a pretty even regulation game with shots going in Rowan's favor by only one, 13-12. The Profs took one shot in the first overtime after a foul called just outside the 18-yard box. Senior forward Tom Gannon (Toms River, NJ) ripped the shot past sophomore goalkeeper #Ian Tighe# (Wyckoff, NJ) with 5:58 left to play to earn the 1-0 victory.
Tighe posted eight saves in the loss while senior net minder Kevin Nuss (Swedesboro, NJ) blocked six Ramapo shots.
