TEANECK, N.J. – Coming off a season-opening victory, the Fairleigh Dickinson men's soccer team continues its road swing to start 2019 when it goes to Lafayette for a Tuesday night match at 7 p.m.
 
The game will be streamed live on the Patriot League Network, and live stats will also be available for fans to follow the Knights online.
 
ENTERING THE KNIGHT
Freshman Jared Dillon provided the Knights with a decisive goal in the 84th minute, helping his team defeat Bucknell 2-1 last Friday. The freshman, who started at forward in his first collegiate game, sprinted upfield to meet a long ball up the far side of the field passed by senior Daniel Lasarte. Dillon then fired a curling line drive over the Bucknell goalkeeper for the game-winning goal. Junior Diego Arribas netted the first goal of the night for FDU in the 21st minute, with junior Nark Miranda earning his first career assist on Arribas' score. Junior Jahmali Waite made four saves in the victory, all in the second half.
 
KNIGHT DEBUTS
Along with Dillon, freshman midfielder Ville Ahola and junior defender Kaskile Zawadi started for the Knights in their first game with their new team. Freshman Peter Kozlej also saw his first game action, coming off the bench to play 54 minutes in the midfield.
 
SERIES HISTORY
FDU is 3-6-1 all-time against Lafayette heading into Tuesday's match. The two teams played to a 1-1 draw at University Stadium last season, with midfielder Ideal Shefqeti scoring FDU's goal in the first half before the Leopards tied the game 11 minutes later. The Knights won 2-0 the last time the two teams met in Easton in 2017, a win that started a five-match winning streak for the Knights to start that year.
