Seton Hall men’s soccer pulled off a Herculean comeback, coming back from three goals down to win in overtime, 4-3, on the road Thursday against the Princeton Tigers.

The Pirates went into their game against the Tigers with the odds stacked against them, with Seton Hall having not won a match at Princeton since 2000.

The Pirates and Tigers got off to good starts with both sides showing compactness early that would seldom last.

Later on in the first half, the Princeton offense created pressure against Seton Hall, making them play a defense-oriented game in which they did not see the offensive end of the field often.
