PISCATAWAY, N.J. (September 6, 2012) – Rutgers men’s soccer (1-2-0) returns to action Saturday, when the Scarlet Knights look to snap their two-match losing streak against intrastate foe Princeton (1-1-0).

Both squads will take the pitch fresh off losses to ranked opponents, as RU dropped a 3-0 decision to No. 3 Creighton its last time out and the Tigers fell, 3-0, on Wednesday night to No. 15 St. John’s.

The Scarlet Knights aim to notch their first goal since opening the season with a 1-0 home win against Fordham. Freshman Mitchell Taintor (Storrs, Conn.) owns the lone score for RU in the early going, as the squad dropped consecutive matches to SIU Edwardsville (1-0) and Creighton following the home victory.

Princeton opened the season with a 2-1 win against another N.J. rival, Seton Hall, on August 31 in South Orange, N.J. The Tigers took an early 1-0 lead just 7:28 into the game and scored the game-winner off the foot of sophomore Julian Griggs in the 50th minute.
