NEWARK, NJ | Mariana Valencia's two-goal performance, including one set up by sister Viviana, pushed the Scarlet Raiders to a 3-0 victory against John Jay College. The Scarlet Raiders improve to 2-0 to open their season for the first time since 2015. 
 
Senior keeper, Jasmin Erichsen kept a clean sheet in net in a fairly quiet afternoon in her first start of the season. Sophomore midfielder, Ava Dul got the scoring started in the first half, collecting her first goal of the season after being at the right place at the right time following a misplay by the John Jay defense. 

The scoring for the Scarlet Raiders continued into the second half as a pair of goals by Mariana Valencia sealed the 3-0 win. Coming off the bench, Viviana Valencia notched her first point of the season after a precise pass reached sister Mariana, who finished it off. Freshman Sofia Milevski also picked up an assist on the day's final goal, her first of the season and collegiate career. 
 
The game was controlled from start to finish by the Scarlet Raiders as they peppered the John Jay defense with 25 total shots throughout the game, with 13 being on goal. 
 
The women return to game action on Saturday as they play host to Wilkes University at 1:00pm at Frederick Douglass Field.
