MADISON, N.J. – William Paterson University scored three quick goals midway through the second half, breaking open a scoreless match to hand Drew University a 3-0 setback in a non-conference women's soccer match Wednesday evening in Ranger Stadium.
Turning Point: It was a scoreless game after an evenly-played first half before the Rangers (5-4-2) came out firing at the start of the second period. Drew outshot the Pioneers 6-0 over the opening nine minutes but were unable to find the back of the net. That's when William Paterson (5-7) unleashed its three-goal flurry, which spanned less than five minutes.
Stats Sheet: Drew controlled possession for most of the night and finished with a 16-10 shot advantage. However, Hickey made seven saves to earn the shutout for the visitors. Sophomore
Madison Dudziec started in goal for the Rangers and stopped three shots over the opening 65 minutes. Senior
