Only 42 seconds later, Farmingdale State went on top 4-0 after Rivera's second goal of the game in which he netted a long pass down the field by junior midfielder Bryan Argueta (Westbury, N.Y.).
Argueta scored FSC's final goal of the first half in the 33rd minute on a shot from 25 yards out. The Rams converted on 5-of-8 shots in the half and took a 5-0 lead into the break.
In the second half, Farmingdale State's only goal was scored by junior forward Kyle Darden (Floral Park, N.Y.) in the 61st minute of action.
In goal for the Rams, freshman Justin Silva (Bellrose, N.Y.) and junior Jacob Liese (Massapequa, N.Y.) split time and each recorded a pair of saves.
