Higgins compiles 14 saves to lead @OW_Panthers Women’s Soccer at Rutgers-Newark

Old Westbury is back on the pitch Saturday (Sept. 8) for its home opener against Bryn Athyn College

NEWARK, NJ --- (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) SUNY Old Westbury women's soccer dropped an 8-0 final Wednesday evening to the Rutgers-Newark Scarlet Raiders (1-1-1) in non-conference action from Alumni Field in Newark, New Jersey.  Old Westbury (0-2-0) has now lost four-straight games to Rutgers-Newark, moving the series to 3-6 since 2008 versus the Scarlet Raiders.  

Rutgers-Newark took the lead 2:13 in as Ana Silveira finished a feed from Shayna Bohus to bear Panther goalie Alexa Higgins (0-2-0).  Moments later, Bohus scored after settling Heather Kosinski's through ball at 9:33 to double the Scarlet Raiders' advantage.  Bohus found Juliana Ceballos in the 22nd minute for the 3-0 lead before Deirdre Mackin settled the first-half scoring by converting on penalty kick in the 27th minute.  Higgins stopped 11 of the 22 first-half shots she faced.  

Iasia Goeloe broke the second-half scoring ice in the 59th minute to build the lead to five before Ceballos, Melanie Egas and Jessica Morena closed out the scoring.  

Old Westbury was held without a shot for the third time in 19 games as Rutgers-Newark dominated play in shots (35-0), shots on goal (22-0) and corner kicks (10-1).

In the end, Higgins turned away 14 shots, falling one save short of matching her career high.  Jasmin Erichsen, Heidi Paulson and Nina Gonzalez combined to earn Rutgers-Newark's

BRYN ATHYN COLLEGE LIONS UP NEXT FOR THE PANTHERS: Old Westbury returns to campus Saturday (Sept. 8) for its home opener against the Bryn Athyn College Lions (0-0-1) at 12 p.m. in non-conference action from Panther Park.
