The Seton Hall Pirates will travel to Rutgers’ home field in Piscataway, New Jersey on September 4 at 7 p.m. to face the Scarlet Knights in a historic rivalry that stretches back to 1928.
A Century‑Old Rivalry Renewed
Both programs enter the showdown with identical 1‑1‑1 records after opening the season with draws, setting the stage for a tightly contested match. The Pirates’ most recent home game ended goalless against Iona, while Rutgers’ senior forward Andrew Kitch has already recorded two goals and an assist in his first three appearances, and goalkeeper Rafael Ponce de Leon has maintained a 1.00 goals‑against average this year.
The all‑time series favors Rutgers, which holds a 36‑16‑6 edge over Seton Hall, and the most recent encounter in South Orange concluded in a 2‑2 draw, underscoring the competitive balance that may persist on Saturday night.
The contest will be streamed live on BigTen+, giving fans across the country a chance to watch a rivalry that, among the surviving programs from Seton Hall’s inaugural season, pits Rutgers against the Pirates in a battle that has been renewed annually since the late 1920s.
