Box Score

South Orange, N.J. - The Georgetown University men's soccer team dropped a 4-1 BIG EAST match at Seton Hall today. It is the first time all season the Hoyas have fallen in consecutive games. Georgetown, now 7-4 overall, 3-3 in league contests, readies itself for a trip to West Virginia on Saturday, October 8.

Seton Hall (7-2-1, 3-2-1 BE) jumped on the scoreboard quickly with two goals in the game's opening minutes. Eliseo Giusfredi scored his seventh goal of the season from inside the penalty area after taking a pass from Justin McGrath just 2:30 after kickoff. Two minutes later, McGrath tallied a goal of his own on a one-time shot from ten yards out.

In the 26th minute, the Pirates went up 3-0 when Giusfredi again took a feed from McGrath and slipped the ball past Hoya goalkeeper Andrew Keszler (Bethesda, Md./Walt Whitman). It marked only the second time this season since the 4-0 loss to Santa Clara that GU trailed by three goals at intermission.

After Seton Hall pushed across a goal in the 77th minute, Georgetown closed the game's scoring when senior Ben Jefferson-Dow (Seattle, Wash./Roosevelt) recorded his sixth goal of the season when he scored off his own rebound from six yards out.

Keszler made three saves in one half of play while sophomore Joe Devine (Exton, Penn./The Haverford School) posted four saves.

GU collected ten shots, six of which were on goal.

The Georgetown-West Virginia match is slated for 7:00 p.m.
