ROCHESTER, NY – RIT (1-0-1) junior midfielder Jonathan Cohen (Newton, MA/Newton North) tied the game at 2-2 on his goal in the 64th minutes as the Tigers tied Mt. Aloysius College (0-0-1) 2-2 in game one of the 2021 Doug May Memorial Classic from RIT's Turf Field Saturday afternoon.
Doug May, who passed away in 2003 at the age of 54, coached at RIT for 16 seasons, positioning the Tigers as a perennial contender for the national championship. Under his guidance, RIT made 11 NCAA Tournament appearances, four trips to the Final Four and an appearance in the 1988 Division III title game.
After RIT, May moved on to coach Nazareth College from 1996-2003, leading the Golden Flyers to the Empire 8 co-championship in his final season. He posted a career record of 251-120-38 over the course of 24 seasons, including an incredible 196-56-24 mark at RIT. He was inducted into the RIT Athletics Hall of Fame in 1996.
