PISCATAWAY, N.J. - The Rutgers men's soccer team closed out the home portion of its schedule on Tuesday night with a 1-0 setback to Columbia.
The Lions (9-3-1) tallied the night's lone goal in the 65th minute as Arthur Bosua's cross was deflected off the Scarlet Knight defense into the left post.
The Scarlet Knights (0-13-2) had two late chances to put away the equalizer, however the shots landed off target.
Following a Columbia corner kick in the 77th minute, Dante Perez changed field position charging down the left side of the field. After finding Jason Wright inside the left corner of the 18, Wright passed the ball to the far side of the field to Tim McQuaid. McQuaid, who had the equalizer to send last Friday night's game at Penn State into overtime, fired from 10-yards out, but saw the ball go high over the Lion net.
With a little over a minute remaining, Wright bolted past the Columbia defense and lifted the ball towards the Lion goal. Wright's pass connected with Jesse Weick, but the header from 6-yards out went just outside the right post.
Goalkeeper David Greczek continued to close in on becoming Rutgers' all-time saves leader after collecting four saves for the Scarlet Knights. The Fairfield, New Jersey native needs three more stops for the record.
Greczek's counterpart, Dylan Castanheira, posted a pair of saves in the win for the Lions.
Columbia ended the night with a 11-6 advantage in shots and recorded all three of the game's corner kicks.
"The guys did give another good effort against a very good Columbia team, but we also made a couple of errors that led to their opportunity," said head coach Dan Donigan. "I don't think they had that many more equality chances than we did, but we lacked trying to get in behind them and make them uncomfortable defending us. Heading into the last game, we're going to be positive and go into Bradley with the mindset that we can win the game. Anything that we do that is positive and gains momentum heading into the Big Ten Tournament, we are going to make it happen."
The Rutgers men's soccer team closes out the 2016 regular season at Bradley on Saturday night before heading to College Park, Maryland to face Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament's play-in game on Nov. 5.
