After going up 1-0 in the first half, the Seton Hall men’s soccer team fell to the Rider Broncs 2-1 on Thursday, Aug. 28 at Owen T. Carroll Field.
Seton Hall headed into the game having tied with Saint Peter’s in its first contest of the season on Aug. 25, while Rider was fresh off a 3-2 loss to Lehigh on the same evening.
The Pirates started off strong offensively, scoring the opening goal just ten minutes into the game. After winning possession following a foul on Rider’s Mathis Catanzaro, the Hall was able to cross the ball to an open Spencer Burkhardt, who drilled a header into the top right corner of the net.
