Madison, NJ – Senior midfielder
Jennifer Tafro (Little Falls, NJ, Passaic Valley) had a pair of goals and recorded her 100th career point as second-ranked Montclair State bounced back from its first loss of the season with a 4-0 victory over FDU-Florham on Tuesday evening.
Freshman

Tafro gave Montclair State a 1-0 lead it would hold through halftime in the game's seventh minute as MSU scored off a penalty corner. Lewis took the insert pass from
Sierra Rauchbach (East Brunswick, NJ, East Brunswick) sliding the ball over to Tafro, who blasted a shot that deflected off the goalkeeper into the back of the cage for her 13th goal of the season.
