Women's Soccer | October 07, 2015

 
For Starters:                
NJCU looks to snap a three-game losing streak against John Jay College in today's non-conference matchup. The Gothic Knights have been outscored 17-1 in their last three games.
 
#GothicRewind—NJCU Falls in Moved Game:
Freshman Odelia Cordova netted her first collegiate goal in the 71st minute to get the Gothic Knights on the board but based on two early and two late tallies and a 27-2 advantage in shots, Rutgers University-Newark took a New Jersey Athletic Conference women's soccer game from NJCU, 5-1, in a game played in the rain at Alumni Field on October 3. Originally scheduled as a home game, it was moved from NJCU's grass complex to Newark's turf field due to days of rain. Cristina Estremera had a hat trick for RUN. Sophomore back Catarina Teodosio had her first career assist in the game.
 
Lubonski Standing Tough
Under heavy pressure in the loss to Rutgers-Newark, senior goalkeeper Cassie Lubonski notched 14 saves—one shy of her career high of 15 at FDU-Florham on September 2. It was her fourth career effort of double figure saves.
 
Four Score Trends:
NJCU has been involved in five games that have resulted in a 4-0 final. NJCU has won once and lost four times by that outcome.
 
New Faces:
NJCU has added two new players to its #GothicFamily in the last week, with the addition of freshman forward Camila Nuñez and freshman back Gabby Ortiz to the roster. Their addition brings the roster to 16 players.
 
Bloodhound Quick Sniffs:

• John Jay has scored just three goals in nine games with a high of two in a 2-0 win over Sarah Lawrence on September 24. The Bloodhounds have been shutout seven times, including a pair of 0-0 draws in conference play.
• While the Bloodhounds have not been successful in the win column, they have kept the games close. JJC has allowed just 18 goals in nine games and just three goals in its last five games. Gwynedd Mercy beat John Jay, 6-0, in the season opener on September 1, and JJC allowed four goals in losses to Rivier (September 7) and Rowan (September 9), but no more than two goals in any game since.
• John Jay goalkeeper Andrea Antoni was named this week's CUNYAC Defensive Player of the Week after making 21 saves, including the 500th of her career, in a 1-0 overtime loss to the high-powered offense of Staten Island.
• Staten Island is the one common opponent that both schools have faced. NJCU lost to CSI, 4-0, on September 1. NJCU will face Rowan on October 24.
