(WHSV) - Rodrigo Robles’ two goals helped lead James Madison to a 3-2 win over Pittsburgh in the first round of the NCAA Men’s Soccer Tournament on Thursday night.

The Dukes won their first NCAA Tournament match since 2018.

In the 57th minute, Robles got the ball in front of the net and scored his second goal of the night to give JMU a 3-2 lead, a lead they wouldn’t surrender.

The Dukes advance to the second round to take on Georgetown on Sunday.
