Women's Soccer Shuts Out Rutgers-Newark for Third-Straight Win

SWARTHMORE, Pa. - The Swarthmore College women's soccer team captured its third-straight victory and first shutout of the season in a 2-0 win over Rutgers-Newark on Wednesday night.

Ava Gizzie scored the game-winning goal in the 77th minute of action to record their third goal in as many games, while also adding an assist on the team's other tally. The first-year has opened their collegiate career with a goal in each game for eight points on the season. Fellow first-year Lauren Lior also tallied points in all three games with an assist today for her eighth point. 

Veronica Gibbons provided the Garnet with an insurance goal in the 82nd minute. The goal was the senior's first tally since October 16, 2021. 

Nora Greer led the defense with 90-shutout minutes between the pipes. The senior made a season-high five saves in the effort. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Garnet generated several quality scoring opportunities in the opening 15-minutes of play. Swarthmore out shot their opponent 9-1 during the stretch with three shots on goal. Gibbons had a couple chances with a shot on goal in the 12th minute. The senior had a good look in front of the net, but was turned away by a quality save. 

- Swarthmore dominated the time of possession as they held the ball 64-percent of the opening half. The Garnet outshot the Scarlet Raiders 15-5 and held a 5-1 corner advantage.

- Greer made a nice save early in the second half. The Scarlet Raiders fired a shot from the top of the box, which was deflected high by Greer. The senior was excellent all night while the defense helped limit her activity. 

- Gizzie nearly put the Garnet in front in the 59th minute. The first-year fired a shot from the right side as they tried to go opposite post, but the attempt was deflected away by an excellent, leaping save. Jacinta Fernandes-Brough then threatened in the 73rd minute when she fired a shot attempt just high over the goal. 

- Gizzie broke the scoreless tie in the 77th minute. Lior passed the ball to Gizzie from the left side, who beat the keeper low. The Garnet then scored moments later off a header from Gibbons following a Gizzie corner kick, 2-0.
