Ewing, NJ... The College of New Jersey women's soccer team posted its 11^th shutout of the season as they defeated Rutgers University-Camden 4-0 in New Jersey Athletic Conference play on Thursday afternoon in TCNJ's Soccer Complex.
 
The underclassmen led the way as three freshmen and a sophomore each scored a goal. The victory lifts the 19^th-ranked Lions to an 11-2 season record and  5-1 mark in the conference. The Scarlet Raptors dropped to 5-8-1 overall with the loss and 2-4 in the NJAC.
 
Freshmen Kathryn Bednarsky (Hackettstown, NJ/Gill St. Bernards), Abigail Emmert (Pipersville, PA/Central Bucks East) and Jessica Goldman (Belle Mead, NJ/Montgomery) knocked in the first three goals for TCNJ, while sophomore Lauren Malajian (Haworth, NJ/Northern Valley) capped the scoring with a goal late in the second half. The Lions found the back of the net twice in each period.
 
Just over 26 minutes into the game, sophomore Christine Levering (Robbinsville, NJ/Robbinsville)
sent a cross from the right end-line and Bednarsky headed home the eventual game-winner into the top of the net. A little over three minutes later, sophomore Brianna Petro (Martinsville, NJ/Bridgewater Raritan) took the ball down the left side and sent a ground pass in front. Emmert hit a first-time shot past the keeper for her second goal of the season.
 
After the intermission, TCNJ continued to dominate play. (They finished the contest with a 35-3 advantage in shots.) Goldman drilled a shot from just outside the box, but it rang off the cross bar and back into play. In the 66^th minute, Goldman got her goal as she redirected a cross from junior Brianna Cummings (Belmar, NJ/Ocean County) into the corner for her fifth goal of the season.
 
Later in the half, senior Gina Caprara (New Providence, NJ/New Providence) sent a corner kick into the box that Malajian quickly deposited for her first goal of the season.
 
Lion keeper Kendra Griffith (Cherry Hill, NJ/Cherry Hill West) picked up her 10^th win of the season and her eighth shutout, stopping both shots on goal she faced. Scarlet Raptors goalkeeper sophomore Angela Martorano (Gloucester Twp., NJ/Triton Regional) did an outstanding job in net and finished with eight saves.
 
TCNJ heads to Ramapo College on Saturday, October 18 for a 1 p.m. contest with the Roadrunners, while Rutgers-Camden is in action at that same time hosting Montclair State University.
