The sophomore sent a shot into the upper corner to make the score 3-0 late in the second half. It marked the first points scored by the defensive midfielder since he posted an assist in a 3-1 victory against Marist. Kaufman became more of an offensive threat late in the year, taking five of his seven shots over the final four games. He started 14 of his 17 appearances in 2008, coming off the bench against Towson, Monmouth, and Iona. He ended the season by getting a start in the final nine games.

He took three shots during the season, two at Harvard and one against Marist (regular season). He was also on the field for seven of the team's 10 shutouts, including four straight from October 5-26.
