The Camels hosted the Seton Hall Pirates at Koskinen Stadium on a crisp evening, expecting a tight contest after a promising start to the season. Instead, Seton Hall struck first, capitalizing on a swift move that left Campbell’s backline scrambling.
Early chances and a timely response
In the third minute, Joaquin Brizuela’s shot was brilliantly parried by Campbell goalkeeper David Skorodumov, preserving the deadlock. The breakthrough came in the 21st minute when Nico Rubio threaded a precise pass to Mikkel Lejbowicz, whose finish opened the scoring for Seton Hall.
Campbell’s response arrived through the efforts of sophomore forward Kana Dube, who slotted home his first career goal after a well‑timed assist from Augustus Squillace. The goal injected energy into the Camels, but Seton Hall quickly answered with a second strike.
Samuel Sansone doubled the Pirates’ lead in the 77th minute, assisted by Rubio’s second helper of the night. Just a minute later, Jayco Castro celebrated his inaugural goal for Campbell, capitalizing on a long throw‑in from James Jenkin to narrow the gap.
Goalkeeping duel
Between the posts, Devin Armstrong made five saves for Seton Hall, including a decisive stop on the final attempt. Skorodumov, meanwhile, logged seven saves for Campbell, one of which stood out as a career‑high performance reminiscent of his earlier heroics at Franklin Pierce.
Statistically, Seton Hall committed 12 fouls while Campbell accumulated seven, and the Camels earned five corners compared to the Pirates’ three. The match highlighted Campbell’s defensive lapses but also showcased moments of resilience that kept the contest alive until the final whistle.
Looking ahead, the Camels are set to travel to Charleston for their first Colonial Athletic Association showdown on Friday, with kickoff scheduled for 6:00 PM. The game will be streamed on FloCollege, and fans can follow the team’s progress across social media platforms for updates and highlights.
