NYU Remains Unbeaten, Defeat Host William Paterson 5-1
The #18-ranked New York University women's soccer team remains undefeated following a 5-1 win against the William Paterson University Pioneers on Wednesday night in Wayne, New Jersey.
The Violets (3-0-3) scored three goals in five minutes in the first half, starting with forward Hunter Hoelscher's shot into the top left corner in the 24th minute assisted by defender Rachel Kim. Three minutes later, defender Elizabeth Argenziano scored from the right corner of the penalty box to double NYU's lead, with Kim again assisting.
Midfielder Kelli Keady made it three with an emphatic goal from right inside the Pioneers half just before 30 minutes.
For the first 45 minutes, goalkeeper Riley Felsher didn't have much to do as NYU stifled the Pioneers, not allowing a single shot while registering 23 at the other end of the pitch.
However, Felsher was unable to shut out the Pioneers as the home team scored in the 68th minute. William Paterson scored its consolation goal from right outside the box, but the Violets scored their fourth goal eight minutes later through a Maddy Xiong shot from 18 yards out.
Midfielder Allie Wall capped the Violets' five-star performance with seven minutes left with a goal from the same area where Hoelscher scored.
NYU outshot William Paterson 36-2 overall, 23-2 on goal.
