Carroll Field. With the loss, the Hawks wrap up non-conference play at 4-2-1, while Seton Hall improves to 2-2-2.

The Pirates got on the board in the 33^rd minute as Kai Greene and Bolu Akinyode connected passes into the 18-yard box to Victor Manosalvas.

In the second half, the Hawks kept the pressure on, firing off six more shots. Dom Sarle’s (Huntington, N.Y./Bradenton Prep) header in the 57^th minute went wide left, while Sarle’s header off a David Acuna Camacho (Heredia, Costa Rica/Costa Rica Youth National Team) corner in the 75^th minute was saved by Seton Hall keeper Julian Spindler.

Klenofsky kept the game tied with a diving save on a Manosalvas shot from atop the 18-yard box in the 78^th minute. A minute later, Dan Pizzimenti’s (Manalapan, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy) shot was saved by Spindler. Sarle got off one last shot in the 83^rd minute, but it sailed high.
