NEWARK, N.J. — Senior forward Victor Naci (Bordeaux, France/Bernard Palissy) made St. Joseph's University, N.Y. – Brooklyn men's soccer history, setting the program's all-time scoring record on Wednesday evening.

How it Happened
Nine minutes into the match, Naci scored his second goal of the season, marking his place in the SJBK record book. The navy and gray defense effectively curtailed the Violets' scoring chances, with Christian Chimborazo (Elmhurst, N.Y./Queens Technical) saving their only shot of the first half.
