Box Score

HOBOKEN, N.J. (November 2, 2013) - The nationally ranked No. 4/5 Stevens Institute of Technology men's soccer team posted a 2-1 victory on Senior Day against Empire 8 Conference rival Ithaca College on Saturday in Hoboken. Stevens closes out the regular season with a 14-1-1 overall record and will host the Empire 8 Championship Tournament beginning next Wednesday.

The Ducks prevailed in the match due to two scores from sophomore Joe Cellitti (Mendham, N.J.). Cellitti tallied his first marker 9:53 into the contest on a great individual effort. He battled with an Ithaca defender within the 18-yard box before setting up a low blast from right to left past Bombers' goalkeeper Jordan Gentile. Another Ithaca defender was close to the play and tried to boot the ball off the end line but was too late and sent already destined goal into the back of the net.

Cellitti then split the Ithaca defense on a great through ball from senior Christian Grapel (Grass Valley, Calif.) in the 27th minute for his second goal of the half to give Stevens a 2-0 edge.

Ithaca found the back of the net midway through the second half off a free kick from Max Bjork to Casey Williamson in the 67th minute.

More details from today's game will be available later tonight.
