UR men earn town bragging rights after beating RIT 3-0

What a great night it was for the Yellow Jackets yesterday at Fauver Stadium, as UR defeated cross-town rival Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) by a score of 3-0. The win pushed UR's record to 4-1.

Josh Richards ('12) started off the game's scoring on a first half goal that was assisted by Max Eberhardt ('12).

The play all started when Tom Sorrentino ('12) had a beautiful throw-in into the box. Eberhardt headed the ball towards the net, and Richards was there to finish. The goal was Richards second of the season.

Forward Max Eberhardt's phenomenal game against RIT included two goals and an assist.

Later on, things got very exciting very fast. About fifteen minutes into the second half, Eberhardt scored his second point of the game when he put a Jakob Seidlitz ('13) corner kick into the net for his first goal of the season. That made the score 2-0.

Twenty-five seconds later, Eberhardt scored his second goal of the game after receiving a beautiful cross from forward Jarvis D'Souza ('15). D'Souza was just outside the top right corner of the 18' when he sent a perfect cross over to Eberhardt in the middle of the box. Eberhardt's strike was a no doubter as soon as he kicked it, as D'Souza set him up perfectly to shoot on a wide-open net.

The two goals Eberhardt scored in twenty-five seconds presented a first for me in my soccer-reporting career. I have never seen one player score two goals in such a short-time frame.

I was broadcasting the game for WRUR 88.5, and I couldn't even finish breaking down Eberhardt's first goal before he scored his second.

For his three-point performance, the Jackets' Nest Player of the Game is Max Eberhardt ('12).
