Men's Soccer: Early Goals Help Roadrunners Defeat Bergen County

Midfielders Francesco Fazzolari (Glassboro) and Justin Phy (Triton) each scored first half goals, and the Roadrunners never looked back as they held on for a 2-0 victory over visiting Bergen Monday afternoon in a key Region XIX and Garden State Athletic Conference match.

Fazzolari kicked off the scoring with a goal 5 minutes into the opening period with an assist from Anthony Macklin (y Eastern Regional) while Phy made it 2-0 on a goal assisted by Joe Niemiec (Sicklerville, Roman Catholic) at the 13:00 mark.

The win improved the Runners' overall record to 8-5-1 and 5-3-1 in the conference.

Freshman goalkeeper Connor Rink (Haddon Heights) registered the shutout with a pair of saves to earn the win.

Next up for coach George Hobbins' team is a home match Thursday vs. Lackawanna College starting at 2 pm.
