SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – The Seton Hall men’s soccer team (0-1-1) makes its regular season debut at Owen T. Caroll Field on Friday night to host a New Jersey derby with Rider (1-0-0) at 7 p.m. The match will be part of the Pirate Sports Network HALL Pass weekend, with FREE video available.
The Hall is 2-1-0 in home openers under Gerson Echeverry, including wins in the last two seasons. Since joining the BIG EAST for soccer in 1985, Seton Hall is 20-8-2 in regular season home openers. The Hall has faced Rider in its home opener twice since ’85, falling to the Broncs in the 2011 opener and grabbing a 6-0 victory in the 1993 home debut. Overall against the Broncos, Seton Hall is 9-11-2 all-time, but 2-0-0 under Echeverry after overtime wins in 2012 and 2013. The Pirates have won four of the last five meetings overall in a series that dates back to 1939.
Seton Hall is coming off an 0-1-1 run at the Nike/Aaron Olitsky Memorial Soccer Classic at the College of Charleston. Nick Najera (Laguna Hills, Calif.) scored for the Pirates in a 3-1 setback against host CofC on Aug. 28 before Eric Lagg (Lafayette, N.J.) tallied to help the Pirates to a 1-1 draw with Furman on Aug. 30. Andres Arcila (Cartagena, Colombia) assisted on Najera’s goal and is tied with Shawn Morrison (York, Pa.) for the team-lead with three shots through two matches.
Rider is coming off an impressive victory on Monday, toppling Saint Joseph’s by a score of 4-0. Christian Flath scored a goal and added an assist to pace the Broncos, as four different players found the back of the net. Rider was projected to finish third in the MAAC behind Monmouth and Quinnipiac.
