Women’s Soccer Knocks Off Wagner in Staten Island

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The Fairleigh Dickinson women's soccer team (8-4-2, 5-1-0 NEC) earned another hard-fought double-overtime victory over Wagner (5-9-0, 2-4-0 NEC) and by a score of 2-1. 

How it Happened 

  • The Knights found the back of the net in the 29' off a corner kick from Madelyn Robbins that was finished with a nice header by Naemi Hausen. 
  • Within the same minute, Malene Nielsen made a stunning fingertip save to keep the Knights ahead. 
  • The Seahawks would, however, draw level in the 34' off of a goal from a set piece of their own. 
  • Hausen had an opportunity off of a free kick in the 50' on goal, but it was saved well by the Wagner keeper. 
  • Nielsen was pressed into action on a couple of other occasions, and Aitana Martínez-Montoya had a handful of shots in dangerous positions, but the match would finish level after 90 minutes. 
  • After a tense near-15 minute stretch of overtime, Aitana Martínez-Montoya would finish the match with a composed finish. 

Inside the Box Score 

  • This match marks the third consecutive in which Madelyn Robbins has delivered an assist off a set-piece. Her pair of assists puts her in the team lead for assists with four on the season. 
  • The torrid form of Aitana Martínez-Montoya in NEC play has continued with her sixth goal in the six matches of NEC play. Her seven goals propel her to the top of the conference leaderboard.  

Coach Teepe's Thoughts 
"It was a battle. [Wagner] really played us well – they frustrated us, they didn't give us much time on the ball, and we kind of knew that they would be a team that would look for set pieces, make the game chaotic, and be dangerous off of them, and that's exactly what it was." 

"[Madelyn Robbins] is just a lightning rod for us. Having her on the field just changes the game. Other teams absolutely key on her, and she's growing as a player, finding other ways to beat those teams. She just plays with so much passion." 

What's Next 
The Knights return home on Sunday, October 17, to take on Bryant at 12 p.m. in the first match of a day/night doubleheader on alumni weekend. Following the women's game, the men will take the pitch against the NEC-leading LIU Sharks at 7 p.m. later that evening. Both matches will be streamed live on NEC Front Row.
