Roadrunners' second half offensive outburst too much for New Jersey men's soccer as Knights fall 5-0

The Berkeley College New Jersey men's soccer team dropped a match on Monday afternoon, falling to the Roadrunners of Ramapo College by a score of 5-0 in a contest played in Mahwah, New Jersey. With the loss, the Knights dipped to a mark of 7-6 on the year, while the Roadrunners improved their record to 8-2-2.

Ramapo College was awarded a penalty kick after Trevor Albrecht was fouled in the box in the 34th minute of the game. Albrecht took advantage of the opportunity, as he slipped the ball into the net (at 33:59) to give the Roadrunners a 1-0 advantage.
 
Ramapo tallied four more goals, all in the second half. Albrecht scored in in the 60th (59:15) minute for his second goal of the contest to give the Roadrunners a 2-0 edge before Justin Charkowski netted a goal in the 70th minute (69:49). In the 79th minute (78:21), Justin Olaya received a pass from Robert Perez and slipped the ball into the net – and later - Kyle DeGroff tacked on Ramapo's fifth goal in the final 16 seconds of the game (89:44). Peter Bonilla assisted on DeGroff's goal.
 
Ramapo held a 17-12 edge in shots in the game, and the Roadrunners had a 13-4 advantage in shots on-goal. Ramapo posted four corner kicks. Ryan Sprague recorded a shoutout, working first the 82:45 of the game with four saves. Alejandro Cintron played the final 7:15 of the game and didn't face a shot on goal.

Berkeley College's Robert Parker collected eight saves in a losing effort.

The Knights will return to action on Thursday evening, as Berkeley College will take on Vermont Tech at Aviator Field in Brooklyn, NY. Start-time for that contest is scheduled for 5:30pm.
