The New York University women's soccer team improved its season-high unbeaten streak to five as it defeated host Stockton University 2-0 on Thursday, October 19, in Galloway, NJ.

NYU (9-3-2) scored a goal in each half and held Stockton (7-10-1) to one shot on goal en route to its eighth shutout of the season.

Ashlyn Krygowski scored the Violets' first goal in the 33rd minute, deflecting a shot off a defender and past Osprey goalkeeper Nicole Pallante. It was the sophomore's second tally of the season and third of her career.

NYU maintained its one-goal lead until Marquel Love found the back of the net with just four minutes remaining in the contest. Love scored after Pallante came out of the net and missed the ball.

Sophia Danielsen saved the lone Osprey shot on goal early in the second half to preserve her fourth shutout in eight starts. Danielsen is 5-2-1 as the Violets' goalkeeper this season.

Pallante made five saves to help keep the Ospreys in the game.
