Devils Knock Off Rutgers-Newark, 3-1

MADISON, NJ - Senior forward Brittany Kanickij (Hamilton, NJ/Steinert) scored two goals to lead the College at Florham Devils to a 3-1 victory over Rutgers-Newark in non-conference action on Wednesday evening.

With the win, the Devils improved to 8-4-1.

Kanickij started the scoring at the 14:57 mark when she converted a beautiful feed from junior midfielder Meaghan Reilly (Cinnaminson, NJ/Holy Cross).  After the Scarlet Raiders tied it up six minutes later, the two squads were even until Kanickij put FDU up by a score of 2-1 just 10:31 into the second half.  The Devils really put the game away when junior defender Michelle da Silva (Union, NJ/Union) knocked in a feed from senior forward Lora Fink (Hamilton Square, NJ/Pennington Prep) off a corner kick with 26:41 left in the contest.  The Devils held a 33-12 advantage in shots and an 8-2 edge in corner kicks.

Junior goalkeeper Melanie Pierson (Brookside, NJ/Mendham) picked up the win in net, making five saves.

The Devils return to action on Saturday, October 9, 2010, at home for Homecoming against DeSales beginning at 11 am.
