NEWARK, N.J. (October 20, 2017) – The Rutgers University-Newark women's soccer team will host Montclair State University in a New Jersey Athletic Conference tilt Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. on Alumni Field, and prior to the game, the Department of Athletics will honor a group of six seniors suiting up at home for the final time during the regular season.
In a ceremony beginning at 7:15 p.m., veteran standouts
Diana Carvalho,
Angelika Barris,
Sabrina Solorzano,

After the ceremony, the Scarlet Raiders will play a key game as it relates to the conference standings as the ladies make a push for a berth in the NJAC Tournament for the third time in four years.
