EWING, N.J. (9/27/14) – The Kean University women's soccer team fell 3-0 to The College of New Jersey in NJAC play on Saturday. The win kept the 12th-ranked Lions perfect in New Jersey Athletic Conference play at 2-0 and at 7-1 overall, while the Cougars fell to 6-4 overall and 0-3 conference.

The game was scoreless through most of the first half with the Lions keeping the ball pinned into in the Kean half of the field. TCNJ broke through for a goal in the last minute when senior Gina Caprara created shooting space and laced a shot into the near corner for her team-leading sixth goal of the year.

TCNJ tacked on some insurance late in the second half with two goals less than four minutes. The first came off of a passing play when freshman Jessica Goldman crossed the ball into the Kean penalty area, where classmate Abigail Emmert touched it to sophomore Christine Levering. Levering then cashed in on the attempt with 10:58 remaining.

Emmert and Levering teamed up again for the third goal, with Levering sending a passing to a charging Emmert who capped off the chance with her first collegiate goal.

Cougar keeper KC Nunez (pictured left) had a big game with 12 saves, included two sprawling stops that kept Kean close.

TCNJ goalie Kendra Griffith notched her third straight shutout as she finished with one save, denying Kean's Sam Marchetti on a free kick from 25 yards.

The women's soccer team will play another road NJAC match on Wednesday and take on the Gothic Knights of New Jersey City University at 3 p.m.
