Wayne, NJ - The Montclair State women's soccer team, ranked 11th by D3Soccer.com, scored twice in the final 10 minutes as the Red Hawks pulled away from local rival William Paterson for a 4-1 NJAC victory on Wednesday evening.

Senior Jessica Kiniery (Branchburg, NJ, Somerville) had two goals for Montclair State which improved to 8-0 on the season in its NJAC opener.

Senior Allison Wacker (Stockholm, NJ, Wallkill Valley)put the Red Hawks on the scoreboard when her corner kick caromed off a Pioneer defender and skidded into the net in the 18th minute. Kiniery made it 2-0 20 minutes later. Senior goalkeeper Alyssa Falduto (Nutley, N.J./Nutley) came out to break up Kiniery's challenge in the middle of the six-yard box, but Kiniery tracked down the bouncing ball on the left side and scored to the near post.
 
Junior Alana Keffer (Point Pleasant, N.J./Point Pleasant Borough) was fouled in the box at the 61:40 mark, resulting in a penalty kick being awarded to the Pioneers. Senior back Nicole Sullivan (Jackson, N.J./Jackson Memorial) just clipped the inside of the left post, spinning the ball in for the first goal allowed this season by MSU snapping a scoreless streak of 691:40.
 
Now a 2-1 contest, the intensity picked up on both ends of the field for the next 20 minutes. Montclair State put the match away with a pair of strikes during an 82-second span. Junior Melanie Greco (Bridgewater, NJ, Bridgewater-Raritan) maneuvered around a downed Falduto and finished to the right side in the 83rd minute, and Kiniery drilled a ball off the underside of the crossbar and into the left side netting at the 84:08 mark.
 
Falduto collected eight saves for WP. Junior Gina Policastro (East Brunswick, NJ, East Brunswick) had one stop for MSU.
