CAMDEN, N.J.--Eastern Men's Soccer closed the gap to one goal late in Wednesday night's game at Rutgers-Camden, but fell 3-1.
The Eagles, who had won each contest so far in 2014 by a 3-1 count, took their first loss of the year and dropped to 3-1 overall.
The No. 25 Rutgers-Camden Scarlet Raptors scored in the third minute on a header by Jeramey Robbins who followed that up with another goal in the 18th minute off a counter-attack.
Down 2-0, the Eagles didn't get off their first shot until the 31st minute with JD Saracco putting a shot on goal. The Eagles managed to fire off 11 more shots after that point.
Eastern earned a penalty kick in the 85th minute. Eric Giovagnoli knocked in his third goal of the year and his second penalty kick in as many games.
The Raptors halted the Eagles' comeback attempt in the 87th minute when they worked a breakaway resulting in Mike Ryan's fifth goal of the season.
In goal for the Eagles, Nick Policastro recorded six saves.
Eastern looks to bounce back from Wednesday's loss with a 1:30 p.m. contest Saturday with Neumann University on Olson Field
