PISCATAWAY, N.J. – After two consecutive matches at the SU Soccer Stadium, the Orange travels to the Garden State to face Rutgers on Wednesday, Oct. 19. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Yurcak Field.

Syracuse enters its final four games of the regular season with an overall record of 2-9-1 and a mark of 0-4-1 in BIG EAST play. In its last game, SU suffered a 3-2 loss in overtime to No. 11 USF on Oct. 15. That same day, Rutgers defeated DePaul 1-0. With their win, the Scarlet Knights increased their overall record to 7-5-1 and 4-1-0 in-conference.

CLARK COLLECTS TWO MORE
In the Orange's last match, junior Louis Clark tied his career-high when he recorded two goals against No. 11 USF. He became the first SU player to notch a multi-goal game since Mark Brode scored twice against Colgate last season.

Clark leads the team in goals with four on the year. He is currently tied for third in the BIG EAST in goals per game at 0.5 per contest.

The Brighton, England native came to Syracuse after playing at Ashland University in Ohio last season. There, Clark led the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) in goals with 15. He was named to the 2010 NSCAA/Performance Subaru Men's NCAA Division II All-Midwest Region Second Team and 2010 All-GLIAC First Team.

CRIBLEY AMONG BIG EAST LEADERS
Against No. 11 USF, junior Ted Cribley recorded his fourth assist of the year. Through the first 12 games of the 2011 season, Cribley is tied for seventh in the BIG EAST in assists.

Cribley tallied his first assist in Syracuse's 2-1 win against Canisius. It was Cribley's first point as a member of the Orange. He was credited with his second helper at Siena on Sept. 4 and his third at Pittsburgh on Oct. 1.

Cribley came to Syracuse after attending Herkimer County Community College (HCCC) for the past two years. He was a two-time NJCAA Division III All-American.

The two played together for three years with the Raiders.
