The New York University men's soccer team played its second match of the 2024 season on Wednesday night in Riverdale, and came away with a 3-3 draw against host University of Mount Saint Vincent.

The Violets (1-0-1) fell behind 1-0 in the first half, but three consecutive goals within a six-minute span of the second half gave NYU the lead.

Colton Jensen scored his first collegiate goal at 66:32 to tie the score, and Terra Nagai scored his second of the season at 71:11 to give the Violets their first lead.

NYU's leading scorer so far this season, Bryce Lexow, tallied his third goal of the season just one minute later (72:12) to double the lead.

However, the Violets could not close it out as the Dolphins rallied for a pair of goals to force the tie.

"We were down at halftime and had a very good response," said Head Coach Kim Wyant. "But, then we got a bit sloppy. Overall, despite the result, I'm pleased with the performance."

NYU out-shot UMSV 21-16 and edged them 7-6 in shots on goal.
