Farmingdale, NY… One goal was enough for The College of New Jersey women's soccer team to remain undefeated as the Lions came away with a 1-0 road win on Saturday at Farmingdale State College.
 
Seventh-ranked TCNJ (5-0) netted that deciding goal with 7:35 left in the opening period when junior Leigh Applestein (Pennington, NJ/Hopewell Valley) picked up her second goal of the season. That goal was assisted by junior Jordan Downs (Brick, NJ/Brick Memorial) as she took a corner kick for the Lions. That was her team-leading third assist of the season.
 
That goal stood the rest of the way thanks to a defense that allowed only three shots on goal in the 90 minutes. Senior keeper Kendra Griffith (Cherry Hill, NJ/Cherry Hill West) stopped all three of those shots for her third shutout of the season.
 
The loss knocked the Rams to 3-3.
 
The Lions are back on the field on Thursday, September 19 heading to FDU-Florham for a 7 p.m. start.
