NEWARK, NJ – Rutgers-Newark got the tying goal with 44 seconds left in regulation on its way to a 2-1 overtime New Jersey Athletic Conference victory over Ramapo College on Alumni Field.

BOX SCORE & PLAY-BY-PLAY

Junior midfielder Nick Kyprianou headed a line drive free kick from the left side off the foot of sophomore midfielder Harrison Wagner inside the right post off to knot the score and stun a Roadrunner team which had controlled play until the Scarlet Raiders' final frantic surge.

Ramapo junior Rob Santiello fired a shot over the crossbar just 50 seconds into overtime before the Raiders countered in the 92nd minute.  Freshman reserve forward Patryck Dawidczyk redirected an deflected aerial pass into the right side of the box by sophomore midfielder Rafael Donado into the right side of the net sending the Raiders into a wild celebration.  It was Dawidczyk's first career goal.

Ramapo struck just 1:16 into the match when junior midfielder Joseph Kane raced onto a long through pass on the right side from junior midfielder Jonathan Yazo and scored on a breakaway shot from 30 yards out on the right side.

The Roadrunners dominated the first half, firing off 13 shots to the Raiders' five, but Rutgers-Newark junior goalkeeper Jonathan Frances came up with five of his nine saves in the opening 45 minutes to keep his team in the fray.

Ramapo sophomore goalkeeper Steve Monaghan shut out the Raiders with five saves for over 89 minutes, but it was not enough.

Rutgers-Newark took seven of its nine corner kicks in the opening period, but had few solid chances to score.  For the night, the Raiders forged a 9-3 edge in corner kicks.

The Raiders (6-3-0, NJAC 1-1-0) snapped two-game losing streak while snapping a 2-0-1 run by the Roadrunners (5-2-1, NJAC 1-1-0).

Rutgers-Newark visits Montclair State on Wednesday for a 3 p.m. NJAC contest.
