Knights Continue Hot Start to NEC Play

Teaneck N.J.- The FDU Women's soccer team (3-7-1)(2-0-1) played St. Francis Brooklyn (1-5-3)(0-2) today, September 25th at 12PM. The Knights continued their hot start to NEC play with a great team performance and win.    

How It Happened

1st Half 

  • In the 14' graduate student Madelyn Robbins drew a penalty in the box which sophomore Aitana Martínez-Montoya took. She calmly stepped up to the spot and slotted the ball into the bottom right corner of the net for her fifth goal of the season which made it 1-0.  
  • The Knights kept up the pressure after the goal and took control of the game once they had the lead. 
  • The Knights doubled their lead in the 36' when freshman Anna Cacciuttolo dribbled past the defender and delivered a perfect cross to Robbins who finished the chance and made it 2-0.  
  • The high press paid off for the Burgundy and Blue as graduate student Lea Egner was able to force the issue, steal the ball from the goalie and finish on an open net for her second goal of the season which made it 3-0.  

2nd Half  

  • The Knights started the second half with confidence and stuck to the game plan up three goals.  
  • In the 57' freshman Anrea Ougaard scored her first career goal for FDU with a great finish inside the box which was assisted by Martínez-Montoya.  
  • Keeper Malene Nielsen was able to make 2 saves in the half to keep the team in the lead comfortably.  
  • FDU conceded a goal in the 84' scored by Maya Madjercic which denied them their first clean sheet of the season.  
  • The team played great defense throughout the match and took advantage of their chances when they needed to.  
Quotable

"We are beginning to find ourselves a little bit which has been a battle for us, but we are improving in the areas that we need to and finding more confidence in each other which will only benefit us." Stated head coach Eric Teepe. "Next game for us is very important, we know what Wagner will bring and we must be up for the challenge. Winning games at home is key and we must continue to do so in the Conference"  

Next Up

The Knights will play their next game at home as they look to keep their good form over the past few matches. FDU will have time to rest and recover before their next game at University Stadium on Thursday, September 29th at 7PM.
