St. Francis soccer protects home with double-OT win
Olajide Celebrates Birthday with Clutch Game-Winner Against NJIT
Having gone 0-2-1 on their recently completed three-game road trip, and winless in their last four games overall, the St. Francis Brooklyn Terriers’ men’s soccer club needed a lift Wednesday night at Brooklyn Bridge Park.
And birthday boy Yussuf Olajide certainly provided one.
The just-turned-22-year-old forward drove home the game-winning tally in double overtime as the Terriers fought back from an early deficit and pulled out a dramatic 2-1 victory over visiting NJIT, improving their overall record to 2-3-1 and providing some relief for head coach Tom Giovatto.
