• JOHN SEMELSBERGER now has 24 goals in his standout career at BC.  He is now tied at #14 on the all-time list with soccer great Andreas Maier.  His 19 career assists passes Travis Nitti and Erick Alonso (17) and is just two away from former Syracuse star #11 Miles Franklyn (21).
• STREAKERS:  The Crusaders extended their longest win streak in series history to 6 matches with Tuesday night's victory.  BC picked up its 38th victory over the Ironmen and the all-time record between the two schools is 35-48-14 (.432 winning percentage).  
• OFFENSIVE:  The seven goals scored by the Crusaders were the most in series history.  Twice before has BC recorded six goals.  On October 28, 1977, BC defeated the Dons 6-5 at home on an indubitably muddy Bergen Catholic field.  In 2018, the Crusaders put up a 6-1 victory at Crusader Stadium against DBP on turf.  BC has yielded 5 goals in this rivalry dating back to 1974 only three times with BC going 1-2 in those matches.
