MOVING UP IN THE RANKINGS
- Seton Hall took a huge leap in the Sept. 10 United Soccer Coaches top-25, going from No. 22 to No. 13. It is the largest in-season leap in the polls the Pirates have made since going from No. 24 to No. 13 in September 1998.
- In head coach Andreas Lindberg's tenure, Seton Hall appeared in the United Soccer Coaches top-25 seven times during the 2020 season, reaching as high as No. 6. Then Seton Hall spent four weeks in the national rankings during 2021.
- The Pirates are one of two BIG EAST teams in the current top-25, joining No. 25 Georgetown.
- On Monday, the Pirates went to Piscataway and gave Rutgers the blues in a 3-1 victory over the Scarlet Knights.
- Seton Hall capitalized on Rutgers drawing a red card in the 24th minute, scoring twice before halftime. Liam Guske scored his first career goal in the 32nd minute off passes from Axel Berglund and Sam Bjork. Tim Strobeck connected on a goal in the 41st minute, assisted by Jack Kossoudji and Til Kauschke.
- After Rutgers scored off a Pirates mistake in the 73rd minute, Jared Smith helped put the game away in the 89th minute with an empty net goal off a pass from Aidan Tisony.
- It was the first time Seton Hall and Rutgers had met since 2009, and it was The Hall's first win in the series since 2007.
- This was also Seton Hall's first road win at Rutgers since Sept. 15, 2006, and the eighth all-time win in Piscataway.
- Before beating Rutgers, Seton Hall's last true road win over a Big Ten team came Sept. 8, 1995, a 2-1 victory at No. 12 Penn State.
- Seton Hall has shown outstanding depth so far in its five matches:
- Eight different players have scored a goal
- Eight different players have assisted on a goal
- 14 different players have put a shot on goal
- Both goalkeepers who have played have recorded a clean sheet
- Five different players have earned a BIG EAST weekly honor
- Thomas Sellwood, who is a sophomore academically but a redshirt freshman athletically after sitting out 2023, was named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week after scoring the game-winning goal in Seton Hall's 2-0 win over Columbia. Sellwood delivered his first career goal in the 32nd minute in the 2-0 win over Columbia.
- Soren Jensen, a graduate transfer from Post University, was named BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Week after making seven saves in the 2-0 win over Columbia. All seven of Jensen's stops came in the second half, and it gave him his first Div. I clean sheet.

- It's the only match ever played between the two teams.
- Seton Hall is 39-26-11 (.599) all-time against members of the Ivy League.

Easton, Pa. -- The Seton Hall women's soccer team searched for the equalizer and possessed the ball for most of the second half but the Pirates ultimately came up short as they fell to Lafayette, 1-0, on Thursday evening.
Natalie Tavana (Middletown, Conn.) had a game-high four shots and two shots on goal for the Pirates (3-4-1).
How It Happened
Lafayette scored in the 16th minute in what was a strong first half for the Leopards, where the finished with a 3-1 edge in shots. The lone shot of the half for The Hall was Camryn Williams (Doylestown, Pa.) in the 24th minute.
Lafayette put up the first shot of the second half but it would be the only attempt that the Seton Hall defense would allow the rest of the way. Tavana would take the Pirates' next three shots and two were on target but none of them could find the back of the net. The Hall finished with a 5-2 advantage in shots in the second stanza and their final shot on goal came from sophomore Gia Milano (Scotch Plains, N.J.), whose strike from outside the box hit the cross bar. Phoebe Hampson (Cheshire, England) followed the miss with a shot attempt of her own but she wasn't able to put enough behind it to score.
Tavana, senior Chiara Pucci (Munich, Germany) and freshman Kylie Ray (Ramsey, N.J.) played the full 90 minute for The Hall.
