EWING, N.J. – Two seniors scored, another had an assist, and the No. 10 TCNJ women's soccer team rolled to a 4-0 win over William Paterson on a glorious Senior Day afternoon at Lions Stadium.
 
Rachel Burkhard, Greta Bush, Ava Curtis, Victoria D'Imperio, Cassidy DiSabato, Allie O'Keefe, Caroline Rebele, Rachel Robichaud, and Ella Van Dine were all in the starting XI for the Lions (14-0-2, 8-0), who wrapped up their regular-season home slate with a ninth consecutive victory, the last five of which have been shutouts.
 
TCNJ now turns its attention to a showdown at Rowan on Wednesday, with the NJAC regular-season crown on the line.
 
Curtis and D'Imperio each found the back of the net for TCNJ, with DiSabato adding an assist for good measure.
 
Curtis thought she had the opener about 10 minutes in, but her follow-up was ruled out for handball after D'Imperio rang the crossbar.
 
The breakthrough finally came with 5:16 to play in the first half. Jenny Ward and a WPU defender arrived at an Emily Weidner cross simultaneously, and the ball ricocheted into the back of the net for a fortuitous opener.
 
The Lions poured it on from there, going up 2-0 when Curtis dribbled through the box and sent a low shot underneath the Pioneer keeper in the 63^rd minute.
 
Five minutes later, Taylor Bielan sent in a cross for rookie Maggie Murphy, who settled juggled it up and ripped the volley into the top of the netting for her second goal of the season.
 
D'Imperio capped the onslaught in the 81^st minute, stabbing a volley off a cross from DiSabato at the near post.
 
Ellen Williams made four saves for her eighth solo shutout of the year.
