Box Score WAYNE, N.J. – The William Paterson men's soccer team (5-5-1, 1-2 NJAC) battled until the end, but a goal in the 97th minute handed visiting No. 22 Montclair State (8-3, 3-0 NJAC) a 1-0 overtime victory Oct. 1.
 
Both teams had chances during the opening half, including a try by Pioneer senior midfielder Rafael Marques (Woodland Park, N.J./Passaic Valley Regional) that was pushed wide with three minutes left in the opening period. The Red Hawks sent a number of shots wide of the left post during the first 25 minutes of the second half, and junior midfielder Carlos Arevalo (North Haledon, N.J./St. Benedict's Prep) had a chance midway through the period when MSU keeper Michael Gonzalez came well off his line, but he could not get a clean attempt off from just outside the box.
 
A scramble caught Pioneer sophomore keeper Mike Diacheysn (Nutley, N.J./Nutley) out in the box 10 minutes later, but the Red Hawks couldn't take advantage. Senior Maxx Wurzburger missed the right post in the 82nd minute, and freshman Kyle Goodwin put one just over the top of the bar with less than five minutes remaining in regulation.
 
Goodwin had an open look four minutes into the overtime, but he slotted it just outside the right post. Wurzburger made good on his next opportunity after junior Damian Bziukiewicz set him up with a heel pass, and his strike was good past a diving Diacheysn.
 
Diacheysn finished with two saves for the Pioneers, and Gonzalez had six stops for MSU.
 
William Paterson will play at Richard Stockton Saturday, Oct. 4, at 1:00 p.m.
