Box Score 

MADISON, N.J. – William Paterson's Julian Valerio (Manalapan, N.J./Manalapan) was named the Offensive MVP and Dan Peragallo (North Brunswick, N.J./North Brunswick) was selected the Defensive MVP of the Drew Fall Fest after the Pioneers (2-0-1) played to a 0-0 double-overtime draw against the host Rangers (0-0-3) in men's soccer action Sept. 6. WP took home the tournament title thanks to a +4 goal differential following a 4-0 win against Staten Island Sept. 5.

Senior Jonathan Donado (Wayne, N.J./Wayne Valley) had the first semi-chance of the game on a free kick from a dangerous position, but his attempt was easily saved by Jeff Rogers in goal. John Jabar made a great tackle in the 16th minute to prevent Amborgio Pipitone (Parmamus, N.J./Paramus) a chance to get through before Drew could get going on the offensive end.

In the 27th, Curtis Fornarotto blazed high of the target after a laid-off free kick. Donado unleashed one from distance that Rogers did well to get behind a minute later. Mario Walker's header from Phillip Mabeka's corner looked promising, but Peragallo had it covered in the final chance of the first half.

Peragallo was well positioned again midway through the second half to stop Adrian Kawuba's attempt from just outside the 18 as the Rangers continued to apply pressure. Jesse Puzio had the next chance as he got onto the end of a long ball, but from a tight angle could only flash it across the net.

Peragallo made an incredible save with 25 minutes left to keep the Rangers off the scoreboard again. Kawuba hit a terrific free kick from 25 yards out that looked destined for the top corner, but the Pioneer keeper made it all the way across the line to push it back out. In the 83rd, Costa's shot slid just wide from 20 yards out after some good work from Greenberg on the wing.

The end of regulation and the first overtime period each ended without scoring, but plenty of intensity and physical play. During the second overtime, William Paterson had the best chance, but Steve DeMatteo's (Piscataway, N.J./St. Joseph-Metuchen) crushed half-volley sailed just high of the bar off a Pioneer corner kick.

Peragallo's fine save against Kawuba and two clean sheets helped him earn Fall Fest Defensive MVP honors, while Valerio's two-goal game against Staten Island on Saturday earned him the Offensive MVP honors.

William Paterson will host Western Connecticut Tuesday, Sept. 8, at 7:00 p.m.
