Madison, PA (September 1) – Junior Ashley Dietrich (Middletown, NJ) knocked in two goals for the FDU-Florham women's soccer team, including the game winner to help lift them past Ramapo, 3-2 in the team's season-opening match on Friday night.

Location: Madison, NJ (Robert T. Shields Field)

It took until the 37:55 mark for the first goal to be scored but it was the Roadrunners who found the back of the net first when Emily Dustmann found Ashley Agrillo to give Ramapo a 1-0 heading into the second half.

It did not take the Devils long into the second half to find that first goal as Dietrich fired in her first goal off an assist from Ashleigh Frankel (Branchburg, NJ) 21 seconds off the half-opening kickoff to tie the contest.

FDU got its first lead of the day at the 59:05 timestamp when junior Mia Lopez (Rockaway, NJ) fired in a ball into the back of the net for a 2-1 lead. It did not take long for Ramapo to answer however, as just over five minutes, Amber Maher scored a goal off an assist by Carla Goodwin to deadlock the contest.

It was at the 74:43 mark when Dietrich rocketed in the game-winning goal to give the Devils a 3-2 lead that eventually proved to be the game winner.

Graduate Student goalkeeper Erica Blackburn (Marlboro, NJ) started off her year in goal with double-digit saves with 10 in the contest.

FDU will hit the road for a non-conference matchup at the College of Mount Saint Vincent on Sunday, September 3 with a noontime kickoff.
