The New York University women's soccer team won its sixth straight game, defeating Cabrini College 3-0 on Tuesday, September 29, in Radnor, PA
The Violets (7-1) had three different goal scorers in the contest as they outshot the Cavaliers (2-5-1) 29-5 overall and had a 14-1 advantage in shots on goal.
Olivia Braender-Carr opened the scoring just 6:48 into the contest. She followed up a shot by
Jess Wong (who received an assist) and put it into the back of the net.
That was all the scoring for the first half, but NYU got busy quickly in the second half as
Royce Light scored on a header off of a corner kick from
Lexi Clarke less than four minutes (48:53) into the session.
Steph Ho closed out the scoring at 65:29 on an unassisted goal following a scramble in the box.
"We were happy with our team's attacking and especially with our urgency to go forward in the second half," said Head Coach
Michele Canning.
