South Orange, N.J. – Seton Hall men's soccer returns home to wrap up non-conference play on Tuesday night against Army at 6:56 p.m.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS NIGHT
In partnership with the Office of International Programs, Seton Hall men's soccer will be hosting International Students Night on Tuesday. All international students are invited to attend the match and can sign up at the marketing table for a chance to participate in an on-field soccer skills challenge at halftime. Seton Hall will also honor the Office of International Programs pregame. In addition, there will be free soft pretzels available while supplies last.

LAST TIME OUT
Seton Hall earned its third shutout victory of the season with a 1-0 win on the road over Fairleigh Dickinson. The Pirates played a man down starting in the 48th minute after Luca Dahn (Kahl, Germany) was issued his second yellow card of the match. Quenzi Huerman (Vannes, France) scored his third goal of the season and his second in as many matches.

LINDBERG SEARCHING FOR 200
Head Coach Andreas Lindberg sits just one win away from 200 for his career. Now in his fifth season in South Orange, Lindberg has amassed a career record of 199-68-32 in 17 seasons as a head coach.

With his 200th win, Lindberg would become the third coach in Seton Hall history to surpass that milestone, joining Ed Kelly and Manfred Schellscheidt. Lindberg would also become the fifth active BIG EAST coach to hit that mark.

SCOUTING ARMY (2-2-1 THIS SEASON; 8-7-3 / 4-4-1 IN 2021)

• Army was selected to finish sixth in the Patriot League preseason poll.
• Enter play having won each of its last two games, both by shutout. Army has not allowed a goal in its last 203:18 of game time.
• The Black Knights have one common opponent with the Pirates this season, as they tied Fairleigh Dickinson, 1-1, on Aug. 29.
• Army and Seton Hall met last season in West Point, with the Pirates earning a 3-2 overtime victory. Johannes Pex (Stephansposching, Germany) scored the game-winner in overtime.

Tallies as Pirates Draw Against Army, 1-1​

South Orange, N.J. - The Pirates wrapped up their non-conference slate on Tuesday night, playing Army to a 1-1 draw at Owen. T. Carroll Field. Johannes Pex (Stephasposching, Germany) scored his second goal of the season in the 58th minute to level the match.

How it Happened
Seton Hall had the bulk of the chances, and opportunities came early and often. Of the Pirates' seven first half shots, five of them came within a three minute span midway through the opening 45 minutes. The most dangerous chance came from Andrea Borg (Sliema, Malta) who ripped a shot from close range on Army goalkeeper Josh Taylor, who was forced to make a save.

Army would find the scoreboard first in the 56th minute, as Nick Atkinson scored off a free kick to give the Black Knights a 1-0 advantage. However, the lead would not last long. Just two minutes later, Pex received a pass down the right side from Quenzi Huerman (Vannes, France). The senior swung a low-liner through the penalty area and inside the back post to even the match at 1-1.





Pex would threaten several times to score again, as he registered three more shots on goal over the final stretch of the match. However, Pex and the Pirates were unable to convert on any late chances.

Inside the Numbers

• Seton Hall held outshot Army 18-5 for the match, the Pirates' largest shot advantage in a match since outshooting Virginia Tech 24-9 in the 2020 NCAA Tournament.
• The Pirates also held a 10-2 edge in shots on goal.
• Pex's five total shots and four shots on goal are both new career-highs.
• JP Marin (Briarwood, N.Y.) was second on the team with four total shots, while Huerman had three and Borg had a pair.
• Seton Hall had the edge in corner kicks, 5-1.

News & Notes

• The Pirates have scored in each of their first six games to start a season for the first time since 2010.
• Seton Hall is unbeaten at home against its last five non-conference opponents.
• Huerman has registered a point in three consecutive games, and in five of the Pirates' six matches so far this season.
• Matias Molina made his first career appearance, getting the start in goal and making one save.

This team appears to be better defensively then last year’s team but , other then the opening game against Rider where they scored three goals they have not scored more then one goal in any other game.

Slightly disappointed in the program. I though by now we would be a power with Andres Lindberg. Instead we're just good.
