NYRB II midfielder Kyle Zajec made his professional debut for the club on March 28, 2015 against the Rochester Rhinos. He would then go to Georgetown University, where he would become captain and lead the Hoyas to multiple Big East Championships.
Four years later, he scored his first professional goal against Bethlehem Steel FC, for the club that he made his professional debut for.
“It was awesome. You know, Jared [Stroud] gave me a good pass. He made it easy,” said Zajec.
Zajec’s first goal came in the 26th minute off a pass from Stroud, who became the club’s all-time assist leader.
