NEWARK, N.J. — Caroline Caputo's first career goal helped the NJIT women's soccer team rally and preserve a 1-1 draw against the Lafayette Leopards Sunday afternoon at Lubetkin Field at Mal Simon Stadium.

THE RUNDOWN

NJIT (1-1-4) played Lafayette (1-4-1) to a scoreless halftime intermission despite the Leopards holding an 8-2 advantage in total shots and a 3-0 edge in corner kicks.
The Highlanders closed the chance gap more in the second (LAF 10-9 on shots, NJIT 2-1 on corners) but Lafayette would cash in first on a free kick header in the 57th minute.
Seven minutes later, NJIT would capitalize on the foul Caputo would draw inside the box. The 2021 America East All-Rookie team selection started the eventual scoring sequence with a corner kick and after junior corralled the clearance and passed it back, Caputo was fouled while attacking the left side of the box. She calmly scored the tying goal without a challenge by Lafayette's goalkeeper.
Redshirt senior Molly Saylor had a strong game outside of the one score allowed, registering her fifth career double-digit save game and second of the season.

EXTRA TIME

In six games, Caputo is now the seventh different Highlander to score this season (Ciara Adams, Daniella Vito, Lauren Chamberlain, Kelsey Ramos, Ariana Caminos, Sydney Watson). In 19 matches in 2021, NJIT had ten different goal scorers in 19 matches.
The fourth tie of the year sets a new program record for most in a season, passing the three NJIT posted in 2005, 2012, 2016 and 2019.

NEXT UP
NJIT will play again at home this week on Thursday, September 8 at 5:30 p.m. against former America East member Hartford.
