Women's Soccer Defeats Wilkes, 1-0

UNION, N.J. (10/4/06) - Kean University junior goalkeeper Samantha Groh (Mason, Mich.) made four saves, as the Cougars defeated Wilkes University, 1-0, in non-conference women's soccer action on Wednesday evening. The victory improved the Cougars to 8-2 overall, while Wilkes dropped to 7-3-1 overall.

Kean tallied the lone goal of the game on a Lady Colonel miscue, as a Wilkes defender attempted to head the back to the keeper, however the ball got by the goalie and went into the net in the 17th minute.

Wilkes held a 14-9 edge in shots and a 1-0 advantage in corner kicks.

For the Lady Colonels, junior goalie Liz Pauly (Medford Lakes, N.J.) stopped three shots.

Playing in a downpour and wet field conditions most of the game, the contest was delayed approximately 40 minutes at halftime due to lightning.

The Cougars return to action on Saturday, October 7, when they travel to Ewing, N.J., to take on defending New Jersey Athletic Conference champion The College of New Jersey at 1 p.m., in a rematch of last season's NJAC title game.
