Behind a dominating first half performance, the Rutgers women’s soccer team defeated UConn for the fourth consecutive season on Thursday night. Goals from Nicole Whitley, Tiernny Wiltshire, and Ashley Atubi, in addition to the third shutout of the season by Meagan McClelland, led to a 3-0 triumph.
Whitley produced a second consecutive strong effort after registering a career high three assists in the win over George Mason last Sunday. She started the scoring against UConn with a goal in the eighth minute of action off of an assist from Taylor Aylmer. Whitley then found Wiltshire in the eleventh minute, who scored a goal for the second straight game, also the first two of her Rutgers career.
