WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. – Summer Reimet scored a pair of goals 88 minutes apart as the Monmouth women's soccer team blanked St. John's, 2-0, on Sunday for its fifth straight victory.
 
Reimet found the back of the net in the second and 90th minutes, helping bookend an impressive defensive performance from a Hawks backline that has allowed just one goal in its last four games. Defenser Lindsey Husic picked up a pair of helpers in the win, while netminder Tallulah Miller made four saves, continuing her stretch of strong play.
 
It did not take long for the Hawks to break through, converting on its first attacking chance of the day. Husic sent in a cross from the right corner that found Reimet's right foot near the penalty dot. The CAA's preseason player of the year buried her first of the afternoon just 1:35 after the opening whistle, giving the home side a 1-0 lead.
 
The team's traded scoring opportunities for the rest of the half, but neither could find the back of the net. The Red Storm put its first attempt on net in the 14th minute and recorded another shot on goal eight minutes later, but Miller made a pair of stops to keep the Johnnies scoreless. Late in the half, Marie Bogue, Evangeline Perdomo and Clara Ford each produced dangerous scoring chances, prompting saves from St. John's keeper Kayla Bower.
 
In the first eight minutes of the second half, Bower denied Reiemt, and Miller stopped consecutive St. John's attempts. The Monmouth defense held the Johnnies without a shot on net for the remainder of the game, a span of 37 minutes. Trying to hold on in the final minute, Husic played a booming ball from beyond midfield that sailed over the head of the Red Storm back line. Reimet was able to catch up with the ball, took a touch, and easily slipped a shot past a diving Bower to put the finishing touches on the Hawks' first victory over the Johnnies since 2004.
 
Head Coach Kylee Flynn Postgame:
"Credit to St. John's, they brought it today. I just felt like we needed to compete, and we did that."
 
"Summer is great, because she is able to always score goals, and that is what great goal scorers do. She is a massive part of what we are trying to do, and credit to her teammates always being able to find her."
 
Monmouth forward Summer Reimet Postgame:
"Our defense was locked in today. We really focused on our defense this week, and that turned into offense. So a complete team victory."
