MSOCCER: NJCU vs. #3 Montclair State (10-30-2009)

JERSEY CITY, NJ (www.NJCUGothicKnights.com)...The greatest rivalry this decade in New Jersey Athletic Conference mens soccer had an unexpected additional chapter written as New Jersey City University pulled off perhaps the biggest upset in NCAA Division III this season. Senior midfielder AWAL AHMED (Elizabeth, NJ/Linden) scored on a header just 3:59 into the first overtime period off a lengthy free kick from freshman midfielder JEFFERSON HURTADO (Totowa, NJ/Passaic Valley) as the Gothic Knights concluded their 2009 season with a stunning upset of nationally #3 ranked and previously unbeaten Montclair State University, in the final NJAC regular season game of the year played Friday at the Robert L. McNulty Memorial Soccer Field. On Senior Day 2009, the win over the Red Hawks—ranked #3 nationally by D3Soccer.com with three first-place votes and #4 by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America—represents the highest ranked team NJCU has ever defeated in the 51-year history of the program. It occurred nearly eight years to the day that NJCU, just starting to emerge as a nationally-competitive program, upset then #4 Kean University by a similar 2-1 score in double overtime in the NJAC Semifinals on October 31, 2001. In a rivalry which has seen some remarkably dramatic endings, the win by NJCU (7-9-2, 1-7-1 NJAC) in the final game of the season snaps Montclair States 19-game NJAC regular season unbeaten streak—23 games including the NJAC Tournament—while also ending the ...

JERSEY CITY, NJ (www.NJCUGothicKnights.com)...New Jersey City Universitys dramatic, golden-goal victory over #3 ranked and previously unbeaten Montclair State University in mens soccer on October 30 has made national headlines, and now national television. The video highlight of NJCUs overtime win was featured on October 31 on ESPNs SportsCenter, and was selected as the #9 play of the day during the Top Plays segment of the 11 pm broadcast. It is the first ever known instance of an NJCU athletics highlight being featured on SportsCenter and one of a handful of times a Gothic Knight team or student-athlete has been chronicled by the network since 2007. The play occurred during the first overtime period of NJCUs final game of the 2009 season, as the Knights were deadlocked, 1-1, with long-time rival Montclair State, the three-time defending New Jersey Athletic Conference champions, and the 2009 NJAC regular season titlist. After a foul by the Red Hawks, freshman midfielder JEFFERSON HURTADO (Totowa, NJ/Passaic Valley) was awarded a free kick from his own defensive half of the field, in front of the opposing bench, approximately five yards from the sideline and 15 yards behind the midfield line.

Hurtado unleashed a remarkable, line-drive cross that cleared more than half the field and wound up in the box. Senior midfielder AWAL AHMED (Elizabeth, NJ/Linden)—with his back to the goal ...
