JERSEY CITY, NJ…Sophomore forward KATIE FEEHAN (Manasquan, NJ/Wall) scored twice and added two assists to break the single-season scoring record, and senior midfielder CARINE CARVALHEIRO (Newark, NJ/Newark-East Side) wrapped up a marvelous four-year career with two goals and an assist, as New Jersey City University closed its 13^th season of women’s soccer with a 7-0 shutout over Mount Saint Mary College (NY), in a non-conference game played on the football field at the Thomas M. Gerrity Athletic Complex. NJCU outshot the Blue Knights, 38-7.

              

NJCU concludes the season at 5-14 overall, and went 3-3 over the final two weeks of the season. MSMC falls to 6-13 with its fifth straight loss. MSMC leads the all-time series, 6-2-1.

 

Feehan, this week’s New Jersey Athletic Conference and Eastern College Athletic Conference Metro Player of the Week, finished the season with 13 goals, eight assists, and 34 points, eclipsing the single-season record of 29 points by Michelle Reilly in 1994. Her 13 goals and eight assists each rank second in single-season history.

 

Feehan also achieved NCAA history when she scored the first two goals of the game at 7:35 and 7:45. The two tallies, separated by only 10 seconds, are a school record and tied for the second fastest consecutive goals by the same player in Division III history, a mark which is nine seconds. Ironically, it knocks former teammate ADRIELE DASILVA out of the record book, whose two goals in 15 seconds on November 6, 2004 were fifth fastest in Division III history and a team milestone when the season opened. It also matched the sixth fastest consecutive goals by the same team in Division III history.

 

It is the second speed-scoring related record for Feehan this season. On September 11 of this season, she set a school record by scoring just 16 seconds into a game against Daeman College.

Sophomore forward KELLY DALY (Bayonne, NJ/Bayonne) scored twice, and added two assists, to finish the year with a single-season record 14 goals, and with five assists, tallied 33 points, also bettering the previous single-season record. She eclipsed Reilly’s record of 12 goals for a season in a loss on October 26.

She finished third on the roster this season with 23 points, courtesy of seven goals and a single-season record nine assists.

 

Sophomore midfielder TARA LAKE (Bayonne, NJ/Holy Family Academy) contributed a goal and an assist in the victory, placing fourth on the team with three goals and seven assists for 13 points.

 

Senior sweeper JACKIE PETTY (Bayonne, NJ/Bayonne), a four-year defensive standout who ranks second all-time in games, starts, and minutes played, capped her career with her fourth-ever goal and first of the season.

 

Sophomore keeper KASANDRA ZIENIUK (Bayonne, NJ/Bayonne) made six saves for the Gothic Knights, as she registered her first shutout of the season and NJCU’s third overall.

 

Freshman keeper Jessica Thibault (Watertown, CT/Sacred Heart) stopped 15 shots in defeat for MSMC. Her team concludes its regular season on Sunday at 1 p.m. at College of Staten Island.

 

NJCU led 6-0 at halftime and owned a 17-3 edge in shots at the break. Feehan scored her first game-winner of the season at 7:35 as she lofted an unassisted shot over the leaping MSMC keeper from near midfield. Her second goal 10 seconds later was a breakaway in the box created by a Daly thru ball from midfield.

 

Daly notched her 14^th goal to give NJCU a 3-0 lead at 9:05 with the Knights’ third goal in a span of 1:30. A Lake cross from the right wing allowed Daly to hit a one-timer inside the left post past a charging keeper.

 

Carvalheiro made it 4-0 at 10:28 when she fooled the keeper on a breakaway on the left wing, created by a Feehan thru ball. At 16:07 Lake put in the rebound of a Daly shot that Thibault had stopped.

After a free kick from Carvalheiro struck the cross bar, Petty made it 6-0 at 36:26 when she slipped in the rebound.

 

In the 77^th minute, Carvalheiro, who wore No. 7 for NJCU, capped the scoring at seven with her seventh goal of the season and 77^th point. She buried a one-timer from the top of the box into the left corner at 76:29 off a cross from Feehan.
