Rahim Stennett, who has three goals this season after scoring a team-best six in his NJIT debut last season, got Tuesday’s game-winner, 1-0 over Rutgers, through an impressive individual effort.
He gained control of the ball on the left wing about 25 yards off the goal line and veered hard to the middle as he was marked by one defender on the run. Gaining a half-step as he approached the goal area, Stennett shot from the top of the box, sending a hard ground shot inside the left post beyond the reach of the diving Rutgers keeper, Adam Klink, at 61:57.
