Men's soccer ends losing skid with victory over Seton Hall

Enough is enough. And last night, the men's soccer team decided it was tired of being on the wrong side of the win-loss column, even if it had only been there twice. Once the team made up its mind, not even Seton Hall, previously 7-1-1, was going to get in the way. Princeton (4-2-2 overall, 1-1-1 Ivy League) rolled over the Pirates en route to a resounding 3-0 win, rebounding from a two-game slump.

Senior forward Mike Nugent started the Tigers on their path to victory at the 2 minute, 37 second mark, with his fifth goal of the season.

Senior forward Lucas Moskowitz followed Nugent's lead, scoring off a feed from junior forward Matt Douglas at the 8:50 mark, and senior defenseman Graeme Rein rounded out the offensive onslaught when he headed the ball into the goal off a corner kick in the second half. These were the first goals of the season for both Moskowitz and Rein.

Junior goalkeeper Jason White managed eight saves — increasing his total to 52 in the Tiger's eight games — and recorded his fifth shutout of the year.

Princeton broke up the Pirate's five-game winning streak, handing the team its second loss of the season. Seton Hall (7-2-1) recently recorded a tight win over Notre Dame, beating the Fighting Irish 1-0 in overtime.
