Syracuse's women's soccer squad improved to 3-0-1 with a convincing 3-0 victory over Princeton on Tuesday night, a result that underscores the team's early-season momentum.
The Orange struck first in the 26th minute when Vickie Jones converted a penalty, sending the ball low into the corner to put the hosts ahead.
Abby Incorvaia doubled the lead just before halftime, meeting a cross with a precise header that left the Princeton keeper stranded.
A rapid second-half onslaught
Maya Naimoli, who has been praised for her disciplined defending, extended her goals-against average to a mere 0.25 for the campaign, while Farrah Stephens-Martin capped the flurry by scoring the third goal within 21 seconds of the restart.
The quick strike illustrated the team's depth and tactical flexibility, as the Orange shifted to a more aggressive shape after the break.
Coach comments highlighted the squad's execution and noted that the win sets a positive tone heading into Thursday's home clash with Niagara at the SU Soccer Stadium.
