HOBOKEN, N.J. (Sept 10, 2022) – The Stevens Institute of Technology men's soccer team defeated non-conference opponent Vassar College at home by a score of 2-0, Saturday night. It was the team's third-straight win. Senior Emerson Kuzemka and sophomore Luca Campbell scored for the Ducks.

Stevens took only three shots but placed two on goal to challenge Vassar goalkeeper Eric Wnorowski. The two sides were at a stalemate as they entered halftime tied 0-0.
 
The Ducks began to ramp up pressure in the second half and finally broke through in the 65th minute. Senior Bruno Andino floated a corner kick into the box that found the head of Kuzemka. It was Kuzemka's first goal of the season and Stevens lead 1-0. The Ducks added insurance in the 83rd minute, once again thanks to a beautiful ball sent into the box by Andino. He sent a cross from the right side of the field that landed on the head of Campbell who pushed it into the net to make the score 2-0. Vassar could not equalize as they pushed late and Stevens earned the win.
