Canisius 0 (6-3-1, 0-2-1 MAAC)

WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ – The Monmouth University women's soccer team scored twice early in the first half en route to a 2-0 shutout victory over Canisius on Saturday afternoon at Hesse Field on The Great Lawn.

The Hawks wasted no time in finding the back of the net as Alli DeLuca put Monmouth ahead in the second minute. Madie Gibson's run down the left sideline started the play and her cross was tipped by Jazlyn Moya to DeLuca, who finished the chance.

Gibson doubled the Monmouth lead in the 18th minute when a pass across the Canisius penalty area by Sophie Centi found her foot. The redshirt sophomore buried the opportunity under the crossbar to make it 2-0.

Monmouth's two-goal advantage stood up for the duration of the match on the hot late-September afternoon. Goalkeeper Amanda Knaub was rarely tested and made three saves, all after halftime, in the contest.
