EWING, N.J. – Senior Joe Maddolin's (Dumont, N.J./Dumont) overtime goal gave the William Paterson men's soccer team (10-2-2, 4-1-1 NJAC) a 3-2 victory at The College of New Jersey (4-6-4, 0-4-2 NJAC) Oct. 12.

Maddolin's header scored the game-ending goal off a corner kick by Matt Nigro (Morganville, N.J./Marlboro) with 1:28 remaining in the first overtime period. 

The College of New Jersey scored just 10 minutes into the match as Vince McEnroe sent a ground pass off a corner kick to the top of the box. Taylor Gregory streaked in and ripped a shot into the top left-hand corner of the net for a 1-0 advantage. 

In the 41st minute of play, Maddolin tossed a throw-in that found the head of senior forward Anthony Ferrer (Lake Hiawatha, N.J./Parsippany), who buried his 13th goal of the season to even the match.

Five minutes into the second half, the Lions found the back of the net again on a finish by Ryan Sullivan, putting TCNJ ahead, 2-1.

With just over 10 minutes to play, Michael Encarnacion (Franklin, N.J./Passaic County Tech) collected a rebound off the crossbar and fired a shot into the right corner to knot the game at 2-2.

Senior Zach Collins (Bayville, N.J./Central Regional) recorded five saves in his 10th victory of the season for the Pioneers. TCNJ's goalkeeper Matt Frederick finished the game with six saves.
