Anzivino Records 10 Points in Cougar
Shutout
JERSEY CITY, N.J. (9/27/06) - Kean University senior forward
Heather Anzivino (Belford, N.J.) recorded a 10-point effort for the
Cougars, notching four consecutive goals and two assists as Kean
defeated New Jersey City University, 9-0, in a New Jersey Athletic
Conference game at the Robert L. McNulty Memorial Soccer Field.
With the win, the Cougars are 13-0 all-time against NJCU and
improve to 6-2-0 overall, 2-2-0 in the conference, while NJCU falls
to 2-7-0 overall and 0-4-0 in the league.
Kean had a 37-5 advantage in shots, including 23-2 on goal. The
Cougars were whistled for 11 offsides. Kean led 5-0 at the
half.
Anzivino, who entered the game having accounted for more than half
of the Cougar's offensive output this season, and as the NJAC
leader in goals, goals per game, points per game, shots, and shots
per game, continued that trend as she tied the Kean single-game
school record for goals, accomplished on seven previous occasions.
She has 13 goals and 29 points this season.
Also for Kean, freshman midfielder Jenna Godwin (Kingwood, N.J.)
scored twice, while sophomore defender Ashley Lindaberry
(Washington, N.J.) provided two assists.
Junior midfielder Shannon Blackburn (Vernon, N.J.), freshman
defender Kelly Rigano (Scotch Plains, N.J.), freshman forward Jen
Behrens (Ringwood, N.J.), and senior forward Allison Fream (Point
Pleasant, N.J.) all scored single goals for the Cougars. Junior
forward/midfielder Michelle Fischer (Scotch Plains, N.J.), and
senior midfielder Lisa Battaglia (Gibbstown, N.J.) each chipped in
single assists.
Anzivino had a piece in the first five goals of the game, assisting
on Blackburn's second goal of the season and eventual game-winner
just 1:19 into the contest. Anzivino then scored four consecutive
goals of her own at 5:52, 9:30, 28:40, and 31:07. She finished the
game with nine shots, including seven on goal.
In defeat, NJCU junior goalkeeper Alexis Chisari (Secaucus, N.J.)
made 14 saves, including nine in the first half. It was her third
game with double digit saves this season.
Freshman keeper Meghan Baker (Rockaway, N.J.) played the first 45
minutes, and recorded two saves for the victory. Sophomore Liz
Lanigan (Rahway, N.J.) was unchallenged in the final 45 minutes in
net for the Cougars.
Kean hosts Ramapo College during Family Weekend on Saturday,
September 30, at 7 p.m. NJCU also returns to action on that day at
1 p.m., when it visits Richard Stockton College in Pomona, NJ for
an NJAC game.
