NEWARK, N.J. - The Rangers raced to a 3-0 lead, then held off a late rally to beat Wesley College 3-2 in the semifinals of the ECAC Division III Tournament Saturday evening at Rutgers-Newark. With the win, Drew (14-6) advances to Sunday championship game to face Rutgers-Newark, which defeated William Paterson University 4-3 in the other semifinal.

HOW IT HAPPENED: Junior Andy Imoh scored the game's lone first-half goal, striking in the eighth minute. The Rangers outshot the Wolverines 8-2 in the first half but didn't break it open until midway through the second period, when senior Niko Cserhat and freshman Brandon Jimenez scored back-to-back goals three and a half minutes apart. A defender, Cserhat converted a penalty kick for his first goal since his freshman year while Jimenez notched his first collegiate tally. But Wesley (16-5-1) came fighting back, scoring twice 1:37, making it a one-goal affair with 2:08 remaining. However, the Rangers held off the Wolverines without a shot down the stretch.
