New Hampshire Slips Past Women's Soccer On Late Goal

NEWARK, N.J. — In a matchup worthy of a budding rivalry, a scoreless first half set up a dramatic second half and a late score proved decisive in a 2-1 defeat for the NJIT women's soccer team against the New Hampshire Wildcats Sunday afternoon at Lubetkin Field at Mal Simon Stadium.

THE RUNDOWN

NJIT (2-4-5, 0-1-1 AE) and UNH (4-5, 1-1 AE) played the first 45 minutes of the contest to a 0-0 score. The Wildcats outshot the Highlanders in the period, 8-4 but all four of UNH's on goal attempts were stopped by redshirt senior Molly Saylor. NJIT did match UNH on corner kick tries, 3-3, in the first half.
The first six minutes of the second half picked up the intensity dramatically. UNH was able to strike first in the 48th minute, as Meghan Guarente took advantage of a misplayed ball to give UNH a 1-0 lead.
Less than three minutes later, the Highlanders were able to respond. Senior Bailey Chant, who made her first start of the season, rewarded head coach Ally Nick's faith by scoring her first goal of the year (51') off a right side feed into the box from classmate Lauren Chamberlain.
What looked like an eventual draw after the early second half offensive outburst turned into a UNH victory in the 87th minute after Emily Bini's shot from outside the 18-yard box lofted over Saylor.

OTHER NOTES

With her goal Sunday, Chant matched Chamberlain for the program lead in goals among active players (seven each).
Chant's goal also marked the tenth different goal scorer of the year for NJIT in 11 games, matching the team's 2021 total from the 19-match season.
NJIT's shutout streak in regular season America East play ended at 523:03 with UNH's first goal.
In their three all-time meetings, NJIT and UNH are now deadlocked at 1-1-1.

NEXT UP
NJIT will return to the road on Thursday, September 29 to face Binghamton in Vestal, N.Y. before hosting a three-match homestand.
