Highlights
 
- Green opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, finishing a feed from Freitag Bergstroem.
 
- Despite controlling the possession, NYU led just 1-0 at halftime. But, the Violets scored twice in the first three minutes of the second half. Chow made it 2-0 just 51 seconds in, heading in a corner from Mac Yumoto. Freitag Bergstroem then put in a cross from Ryan Horch to make it 3-0.
 
- Billy Cordova added the fourth and final goal in the 67th minute, scrapping for an unassisted tally.

- With the big lead, the Violets were able to get several newcomers into the game. Robin Smith, Peter Ryan, Chris Harvey, Justin Suter, and Nate Simons all made their NYU debuts.
 
“I thought the key moment was getting two quick goals at the start of the second half,” said Violet Head Coach Joe Behan. “The lads remained composed and knew that we still had to put the pressure on despite being up 1-0. They did exactly what we talked about at halftime, and it was a great team performance.”
 
NYU returns to the pitch on Saturday, September 15, for a road contest at Baruch College. The game will be played at the Metropolitan Oval in Maspeth, NY, at noon.
