Newark, NJ (9/26/07) – Sophomore forward LIZA OFFREDA (East Rutherford, NJ / Midland Park) netted two goals as Montclair State posted a 4-1 New Jersey Athletic Conference women's soccer victory over Rutgers-Newark on Alumni Field.

Sophomore midfielder LARA KAMINSKI (Rahway, NJ / Union Catholic) drilled a free kick into the left side of the goal from the top of the 18 in the 16th minute to opening the scoring before freshman forward CHRISTYN SCILLIERI (Wayne, NJ / Wayne Valley) scored the winning goal on a breakaway run on a through pass from sophomore forward Natalie Sisti (Lincoln Park, NJ / DePaul) in the 19th minute.
