FINAL SCORE

Monmouth 0 (3-2-0)

WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ – The Monmouth University women's soccer team came out on the losing end of a 1-0 final score to visiting Lehigh on Friday night at Hesse Field on The Great Lawn.

Following a scoreless 45 minutes, the chances intensified in the second half as Monmouth generated a terrific scoring chance seven minutes into the period. Senior Jazlyn Moya struck a bouncing volley that tested Lehigh keeper Sam Miller, who dove to her right and made the save.

Lehigh broke through in the 72^nd minute when Kayla Arestivo finished a run down the center of the pitch with a right-footed shot into the lower corner past Amanda Knaub. Monmouth nearly found the tying goal in the closing minutes on a Jesi Rossman blast, but Miller made another big save and pushed the shot away for a corner.
