NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y., October 8, 2019 – After picking up the win in last week's matchup, the rematch went the other way, as the Monroe College Mustangs JV men's soccer team dropped a 2-1 decision to the Monroe Express JV team Tuesday afternoon at Skidelsky Field. The Mustangs fall to 1-4-2 with the loss.
 
The Express got on the board early on when Tyreek Jackson fired one into the back of the net in the 23rd minute to give the visitors a 1-0 advantage. The score remained the same through the halftime buzzer.
 
The Express doubled their lead in the 68th minute when Mohsen Salem scored on a free kick to make it a 2-0 game. Just seconds later, Jay Wong scored for the Mustangs on a free-kick attempt of his own, getting the Mustangs back within one, but that was all they could muster up in this one, as they fell to their Bronx-campus counterparts.
 
Christian Vargas took the loss in goal for the Mustangs to fall to 1-1 on the season. Luis Anguiamo picked up the win for the Express after stopping seven shots.
 
The Mustangs' season continues next Tuesday, Oct. 15, when they visit West Point, N.Y. to take on Army Preparatory School. The game is set to begin at 4 p.m.
