Pirates Put Winning Streak on Line Friday at Georgetown

WASHINGTON, D.C.. – The red-hot Seton Hall men's soccer team puts a four-match winning streak on the line Friday afternoon when it faces No. 12 Georgetown at Shaw Field on the Hoyas' campus. This is a matchup of two teams separated by only one point in the BIG EAST standings.

LAST TIME OUT
Three different Pirates tallied goals in a 3-1 victory over Fordham in non-conference action last Tuesday night. Senior Carlton McKenzie (Birmingham, England) got things started with a tremendous goal in the 39th minute. Graduate student Sean Macleod (Troon, Scotland) then wowed the crowd with a free kick goal over the Rams wall and past a diving keeper in what ended up being the game-winner. Finally, senior Vittorio Argeri (Genoa, Italy) one-timed a kick off a cross from graduate student Stephen Elias (Rye, N.Y.).

SCOUTING GEORGETOWN
The Hoyas are ranked No. 12 in this week's United Soccer Coaches top 25 poll and are off to an 8-1-1 start to the season. The No. 12 ranking is a surprising seven-spot dip from the previous week as then No. 5 Georgetown played DePaul to a scoreless draw on Oct. 4.

Georgetown is most recently coming off a 2-0 home victory over Lehigh this past Tuesday, getting goals from Achara and Jacob Montes.

The Hoyas currently lead the BIG EAST in goals per game (2.30) and assists per game (2.30).

Seton Hall trails the all-time series 19-16-3 with its last win over the Hoyas coming in 2014.
