Vincent Cruz (eight total shots) led the offensive effort for Baruch by scoring two goals for the second time this season in a conference match.

He scored the first goal unassisted at the 8:21 mark, but the home team Bridges (3-5-2, 1-2-2 5 pts CUNYAC) battled back with two goals for a 2-1 advantage after 18 minutes of play.
