Rutgers men’s soccer defeats Manhattan on late goal, off to best start since 1990

With a last minute victory against Manhattan on Saturday night at Yurcak Field, the Rutgers men’s soccer team exceeded its win total from each of the last three seasons, remaining undefeated with a 5-0 record. In head coach Jim McElderry’s first season in charge, he has the program off to its best start since 1990.

The same duo that led Rutgers to a 2-1 victory over Binghamton last Tuesday struck again but this time at the very end of regulation. Sophomore Valentino Ambrosio, who had scored the winning goal off a rebound from a shot of the leg of freshman Jackson Temple, who had scored the first goal that night, connected in reverse on Saturday night.
