NEWARK, NJ—The NJIT women's soccer team will conclude its ASUN Conference weekend series on Sunday at Jacksonville.  Kickoff is slated for 1pm.

All-Time Series
Jacksonville leads the all-time series, 2-1.  NJIT picked up a 1-0 win over the Dolphins on October 9, 2015 on the lone goal scored by Carly Berdan.

Last Time Out
Sophomore Nicole Loehle's penalty kick lifted NJIT to a 1-0 over ASUN Conference opponent North Florida at Hodges Stadium on Friday night.

Loehle, who scored her first career goal, converted her penalty kick in the final minute in the first half after a handball foul in the box.

Scouting the Highlanders
NJIT, winners of the last four out of five contests, enters Sunday's contest with an 8-3-1 overall mark, 2-1-0 record in the ASUN Conference.  The Highlanders are 4-2 on the road this season.

With a win on Sunday, NJIT will have matched the win-output total from the 2017 season when the Highlanders finished 9-8, an NJIT D1 record.

After a season-opening loss to defending MAAC Regular season and tournament champions Monmouth, the Highlanders went 5-0-1 over the next six games.  NJIT has posted six shutouts on the season, most recently, 1-0 win at North Florida.

The 3-2 overtime win over UMBC is the first win in overtime for the Highlanders since 2012 when NJIT defeated South Carolina State on October 20.

Freshman Fiona Wright, who became NJIT's Division I leader with goals in a season, after scoring a pair of goals against Liberty last weekend, has combined for seven goals and 14 points.  Her seven goals ranks second in the ASUN and tied for 26th in the nation. 

Sophomore Katrina Nguyen-DeMary paces the Highlanders with four assists, which ranks tied for seventh in the ASUN.

Graduate student Amelia Sapirman, who is coming off a personal-best performance, stopping 13 shots against North Florida, ranks in the top 5 of the ASUN Conference in saves (64), save percentage (.831) and goals against average (1.66).

Scouting Jacksonville
Jacksonville will enter Sunday's match with a 1-9-1 overall mark, 1-2 in the ASUN.
