On Senior Day 2013, NJCU's lone senior, All-NJAC and All-Region defender MOHAMED CONTEH (Trenton, NJ/West Windsor-Plainsboro North), netted the club's only goal in the 85th minute, rifling home a penalty kick into the left of the net to spoil the Lions' shutout bid. It was his fourth goal of the season. Conteh also had what at the time was a key team save in the 33rd minute, kicking a ball off the line on a shot that had beaten a diving NJCU keeper with the Knights trailing by one.
TCNJ moved into third place in the NJAC with one game remaining in the regular season (prior to the results of Saturday's night games) with 16 points and a 10-5-2 record, including 5-2-1 in the league. NJCU dropped to 7-9-1 overall (2-6 NJAC) and will miss the NJAC Tournament for the fifth consecutive season.
