EWING, N.J. – The No. 12 TCNJ women's soccer team put up another dominating performance on Friday night, holding visiting Hood without a shot and netting a goal in each half to stay unbeaten with a 2-0 victory.
 
Taylor Bielan scored in the 39^th minute and Ava Curtis added a goal of her own in the 73^rd for the Lions, who racked up 34 shots in running their record to 5-0.
 
TCNJ was all over the Blazers from the jump, producing 19 shots in the first half alone. Victoria D'Imperio rang a shot off the post in the 6^th minute, and Hood was fortunate to survive a wild 17^th-minute sequence in which the visiting goalie spilled D'Imperio's low shot; Caroline Freer's follow-up effort was cleared off the line by a defender, and Freer fired off the rebound as well but nailed it right at the netminder.
 
The Lions dented the scoreboard with 6:33 to play in the half as Raquel Garces played a looping cross over a defender to Bielan, who ran onto the ball and chested it past the keeper and into the right-hand corner of the net for a well deserved lead.
 
D'Imperio hit the woodwork again in the second half, sending a header off the bar off a free kick service from Allie O'Keefe.
 
Eventually, Curtis broke down the Blazers with a beautiful individual sequence, getting into the box on the right side and roofing a laser of a shot into the back of the net with 17:35 to go.
