CAMDEN, N.J. - The Neumann University women's soccer team fell in non-conference action on a rainy Monday evening at Rutgers University-Camden by a score of 4-1.
Â
Danni Elman scored her fourth goal of the season for the Knights in the loss, while
Anna Attardi made two saves in goal.
Â
Coming off a convincing 5-0 win on Saturday afternoon, the Knights continued their strong play early in Monday's contest. After being awarded a corner kick in the first minute of play,
Megan Briggs served an excellent ball into the box that was headed home by Elman at the 1:09 mark to give Neumann an early 1-0 lead. The game looked to be heading to halftime with the same score-line, but a Rutgers Camden goal with just under five minutes left to play in the first frame sent the game to the break knotted at one apiece.
Â
Using the late first half momentum to their advantage, the Scarlet Raptors broke the 1-1 deadlock early in the second stanza. The hosts scored three times in a ten minute span to take a commanding 4-1 lead that they would not relinquish. The Knights recorded a pair of shots late in the game as they tried to answer back, but the visitors could not find the back of the net again as the contest finished 4-1.
Â
Neumann (2-3) returns home for another non-conference game versus Centenary University on Saturday, September 15th. Kick-off is scheduled for 2:00 PM.
