CACC Women's Soccer Notes

Bloomfield - Bloomfield doubled its win total from last season by defeating Concordia by a score of 7-0. In the game, five of the Deacons' seven goals were scored by freshmen. Erika Len and Jerrica Lavooy scored their first career goals while fellow freshman Missy Torzewski scored her first career hat trick. All three of Torzewski's goals came in the first half of the game. Senior Michelle Giuca had two goals and two assists in the game despite playing just 49 minutes. Sophomore goalie Danielle Blumberg registered five saves for her second career shutout.

Felician - Five of Felician's six assists this season have been posted by freshmen. The last hat trick by a Felician female before Lindsey Petry's three goals on Saturday is believed to belong to Anna Bartsch in either 2001 or 2002.

Georgian Court - Despite falling to 1-3 in the opening contests of the season, the Lions have won their past two games. Georgian Court hosts Philadelphia University Monday afternoon on the Lions' new field.

Post - Post dropped a pair of matches last week, falling to Southern Connecticut State 3-0, and opening CACC play with a 3-0 loss on the road to Holy Family. Post travels to Caldwell on Tuesday for a CACC contest.
