CALDWELL, N.J. - The Caldwell College women's soccer team dropped a
hard-fought non-conference match to Dowling College, 2-0 Thursday
afternoon at Caldwell Field. The defeat leaves the Cougars with a
3-7 record on the season, while the Lions, ranked 21st in the latest
NSCAA/adidas Division II Poll, is now 10-2.
Dowling got on the scoreboard in the 18th minute, when Kristin
Cipriano took a shot from the left side near the endline that was
deflected by Caldwell freshman goalkeeper Lauren Hoenig

goal for a 1-0 Dowling lead. The Cougars kept the game close with
hustle and the goalkeeping of Hoenig, who finished with 10 saves.

Vanessa Moreira blasted a free kick from 25 yards out into the upper
left corner of the goal for her 13th tally of the season.
