Gryphons Battle Scarlet Raiders in Physical Matchup

YONKERS, N.Y. - The Sarah Lawrence women's soccer team fell to Rutgers-Newark on Wednesday by a score of 3-0. Both teams played physical defense and both keepers were forced to make saves.

Top Performers
  • Leah Burrer played 80 important minutes for the Gryphons and helped the team control the ball throughout the game
  • Viktoria Balbin led all Gryphons with five shots, including one on goal look in the second half

How it Happened

The two teams battled in the first half, with physical play throughout the first half being an underlying theme. A Rutgers-Newark yellow card in the 14th minute would be the first of four cards on the day, as the two teams battled throughout the 90 minutes regardless of score. The two teams both struggled to get quality looks in the first half, with the visitors registering just one shot on goal in the half, a ball in the 39th minute that goalkeeper Maya Pfeiffer stopped, but a Scarlet Raider was ready for the rebound and gave the visiting team a 1-0 lead. Two late-half shots on goal by Balbin and Cora Colvin were not able to get past the Rutgers keeper and the Gryphons found themselves down at the halftime break. The Scarlet Raiders added another score right after halftime and despite pressuring the Rutgers backline, the Gryphons were unable to get anything past the keeper and could not mount a comeback.

Up Next

The Gryphons (2-3) will return to action on Saturday as they host CCNY for a 3:00 p.m. non-conference bout. The game will be available to watch on the Veo Live app and live stats will be available at gogryphons.com
