VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS


WAYNE, N.J. – Fourth-seeded William Paterson (9-9-2) saw its season come to an end with a 3-1 loss to visiting fifth-seeded Drew (10-7-3) Nov. 6 in the first round of the ECAC Metro Region Women's Soccer Tournament.

The Rangers advance to play in the semifinals at top-seeded Richard Stockton Saturday, Nov. 10.  The game time has not yet been announced.

Following a scoreless first half, the Rangers broke through in the 55th minute.  Senior Courtney Carnevale sent a ball up to junior Caroline Kuras, who took a long shot across to the left side of the goal.  William Paterson keeper Alyssa Falduto (Nutley, N.J./Nutley) got her hands on it but could not stop it from crossing the goal line, handing Drew a 1-0 lead.

Nearly 21 minutes later, freshman Emma Campbell cleaned up a loose ball when Falduto stopped the initial shot off the foot of Katie O'Keefe at the 76:44 mark.

O'Keefe launched a corner kick to the center of the box in the 83rd minute and Carnevale was able to knock it into the back of the net for a 3-0 margin.

Pioneer senior Michelle Marabondo (Kenvil, N.J./Roxbury) scored her 24th goal of the season with 1:03 remaining, finishing a long run up the right flank when she beat Drew keeper Kim Jaikissoon 1v1 to the left.  Marabondo finished the year as WP's single-season goals and points (55) record holder, second in career goals (63), points (144) and game-winning goals (19), and tied for fifth in career assists (18).

Junior Mary Jane Seiler (Robbinsville, N.J./Robbinsville) made three first-half saves for the Pioneers, and Falduto posted three stops.  Jaikissoon had 10 saves for the Rangers.
