Box Score GLASSBORO, N.J. – Forced to use a field player in goal, the William Paterson women's soccer team (3-7-2, 1-3 NJAC) dropped a 9-1 decision at Rowan (11-1, 3-0 NJAC) Oct. 5.
With senior keepers
Alyssa Falduto (Nutley, N.J./Nutley) and
Mary Jane Seiler (Robbinsville, N.J./Robbinsville) both unavailable, junior back
Kelly Garrido (Brick, N.J./Brick Twp.) was pressed into service between the posts, seeing the first keeper work of her career less than an hour before kickoff.
The Profs' Erika Suhl knocked in a rebound 1:14 into the match to put Rowan on the scoreboard, but junior
Alana Keffer (Point Pleasant, N.J./Point Pleasant Borough) evened the contest when she sent a long shot off the post, her second goal of the season. The Profs scored three times in a six-minute span, carrying a 4-1 advantage into the break, and put the game out of reach with a pair of strikes during the first five minutes of the second half.
