Jersey City (3-4-3, 0-2 NJAC) rookie goalkeeper
Lorraine Valenzuela (Bayonne, N.J./Bayonne), fresh off her career-best 13-save performance against highly-ranked Montclair State University this past weekend, made another seven saves tonight against the unbeaten Profs (6-0-2, 2-0 NJAC). She stopped the first three Rowan attempts through the first 20 minutes of the match before the Profs tallied the game's first goal off a rebound in the 20th to make it 1-0.
Four minutes later, Rowan scored again to make it 2-0. Valenzuela was tested once more in the first half in the 40th, but she turned it aside to keep the score the same. She then made a couple more stops in the first eight minutes of the second half before the home squad made it 3-0 in the 76th. One more save in the 83rd followed by a Prof tally in the 86th closed it out.
