New Jersey City University breaks streak; Caseres in Sports Illustrated
No comments · Posted by Jim Matson in Uncategorized
This past weekend was a great one for the New Jersey City University women’s soccer. Their 5-1 win over Rutgers-Newark snapped a long NJAC losing streak, and their leading scorer sophomore Julia Caseres snagged a hat trick, helping the team move to 7-4 on the season. Caseres is also the women’s NCAA D3 national leader in goals scored with 18 and 44 points total.
The Gothic Knight’s NJAC losing streak had gone on for 103 matches, so it was really about time for something positive to happen. A losing streak, like a winning streak, can’t go on forever. Read about the match in this release from NJCU’s excellent SID, Ira Thor.
Then in this week’s Sports Illustrated, who shows up in the Faces in the Crowd section but Julia Caseres. Often times in Division III athletics, great work goes unnoticed by everyone but the team and a loyal group of fans and parents. It is truly a great thing when the national press recognizes excellent performance at our level in the NCAA.
It truly has been a good week for NJCU, it’s women’s soccer team, it’s fans, and most certainly, for Julia Caseres.
