| Ewing, N.J. (June 17, 2010) – Fans at the College of New Jersey were treated
to a very entertaining game of women’s soccer tonight, with a tight battle occurring between two of the top teams
in the Northeast Division of the USL W-League’s Eastern Conference. Once the final whistle blew to record 90 minutes
of play into the books, the first place Hudson Valley Quickstrike Lady Blues (5-0-0, 15 points) remained atop the
division charts by defeating the hometown New Jersey Wildcats (2-1-1, 7 points), 2-0. |
| “Hudson Valley is a great team and proved tonight that they are a team worthy
of their 5-0 record,” Wildcats head coach Kevin McDermott stated. “That being said, I am very proud of the effort
that our girls gave tonight. They played with a lot of energy and heart, and we will definitely be ready for our
second match with Hudson Valley later this season.” |
| After starting tonight’s match in a 4-3-3 formation, McDermott moved one
of his 1 contested duel. New Jersey created a handful of great chances, but luck was clearly not on the side of
the home team. Wildcat forward Kylee Rossi put a screamer off the crossbar in the 66th minute, and the New Jersey
attack saw additional attempts go just wide of the frame. |
| Not for a minute tonight did the Wildcats back down from its opponent tonight,
and the team clearly has a strong foundation to take into the next match with Quickstrike on Wednesday, July 7th. |
| Next up for the Wildcats is a home contest on Thursday, June 24th, against
the New Jersey Rangers (3-3-0, 9 points). Soccer fans throughout the Garden State are encouraged to come check
out this new inner-state rivalry, and tickets for that game are available today by calling (732) 963-9769. |
