NYU 4 Brooklyn 0The New York University women's soccer team defeated Brooklyn College 4-0 on Tuesday night, October 7, at Gaelic Park in Riverdale, NY.

"It was a great win for us, as we produced on both ends of the field," NYU Head Coach
Michele Canning said. "We're looking forward to Saturday for another UAA [University Athletic Association] matchup against Case Western."
