Madison, NJ … The College of New Jersey field hockey team put forth a dominant effort on Tuesday evening, defeating Drew University, 5-0 on its home turf in Madison, NJ.

She stopped eight shots in the first 16 minutes of play before Peterson broke the ice with her first career goal off a redirect from Danielle Andreula (New Egypt, NJ/New Egypt). Callaghan turned back five more shots, but Padilla rattled the back of cage following up her shot at the 28:02 mark.
 
Just over a minute later, Morrison registered her second goal of the season, following up a shot by senior Lexi Smith (Florence, NJ/Florence Twp.) that rebounded off of Callaghan.

Senior Kelly Schlupp (Holland, PA/Council Rock South) stopped the only shot she saw early in the opening period. She combined with junior Christina Fabiano (Wayne, NJ/Wayne Hills) to record TCNJ's third shutout of the fall. Callaghan finished with 26 saves in the game.
