Led by NC State transfer Stephen Elias with a hattrick, the Seton Hall men’s soccer team routed Central Connecticut, 6-0, in the first game of the season on Friday. The game decidedly marks the beginning of head coach Andreas Lindberg’s second season with the team.
15 minutes into the first half, Elias seized his first goal of the game, assisted by Carlton McKenzie and JP Marin. Three minutes later, freshman Eden O’Leary added on to the Pirates lead and Marin recorded his second assist of the game.
At the 38th minute, Andrea Borg extended the lead to 3-0 with an unassisted goal, which held until the break.
