Ewing, NJ...Sophomore Annie McCarthy (Brick, NJ/Brick) netted a pair of goals in the second half as The College of New Jersey women's soccer team opened the 2009 season with a 2-0 win over New York University on Tuesday.

After a scoreless half, McCarthy opened the scoring 50 seconds into the second frame heading in a corner kick off of the foot of Nikki Migliori (Hamilton, NJ/Steinert). She tacked on an insurance goal with 5:55 remaining lacing a rising shot into the upper corner of the net.
