NEWARK, N.J. – Ethan Hagen, Matthew Murillo, and Ben Goldberg all scored for the Stevens Institute of Technology men's soccer team in a 3-2 win over NYU Saturday evening.

HOW IT HAPPENED
In a first half that featured just four combined shots on goal, Hagen made the Ducks' lone such effort count, putting Stevens (3-2-3) up 1-0 in the 19^th minute. The Ducks were 60 seconds away from carrying that edge into the halftime break when NYU equalized in the 45^th minute, getting one by Sebastian Montoulieu, who'd made a pair of saves earlier in the half.

In the 56^th minute, NYU's Keyon Namdar had a pair of chances to put the Violets in front, but his initial offering hit the right post and his follow-up was stopped by Montoulieu.

With the offensive intensity picking up, Murillo broke through for Stevens in the 73^rd minute. Just under 10 minutes later, a Francesco Bonavita feed to Goldberg produced an insurance goal that proved all the more pivotal when NYU found the back of the net with less than 30 seconds to play.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE

• Playing in his 65^th collegiate match, Hagen notched his first goal as a Duck
• Murillo's tiebreaker, like Hagen, was the first goal of his Stevens career
• Bonavita continued the night of firsts, notching his first collegiate point
