Westbury was held to six shots, compared to 28 by the
opposition. Later in the first half, Rutgers-Newark took a
2-0 lead in the 36th minute as a free kick played into
the box found Caseras who sank a header to the far post on an
assist by teammate Liana Abreu. The Panthers trailed 2-0
through the first half due in part a 14-1 Scarlet Raider shot
advantage. Caseras put the game out of reach in the
83rd minute as she fired a laser off a penalty kick that
