The Rutgers men’s soccer team proved a resilient bunch on Monday night in Philadelphia, coming from behind to defeat Drexel 2-1. Trailing 1-0 at the half, the Scarlet Knights were able to fight back, as several freshmen played key roles once again.
Drexel took the lead in the 14th minute, as Chris Donovan scored from the right post off an assist from Patrick Murphy. The host Dragons maintained the lead until the 60th minute when freshman Jørgen Wisth Lie scored on a penalty kick, his second of the season.
With the game tied late, Rutgers completed its comeback as FDU transfer and sophomore Valentino Ambrosio drew the Drexel keeper off his line, setting up freshman Jackson Temple, who was able to put the ball in the back of the net for the game winning goal in the 77th minute.
