CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. – The Thomas Jefferson University women's soccer team (7-3-1) shut out Molloy (8-3-2), 2-0, in a non-conference game on Wednesday.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
It took more than 10 minutes for the first offensive chance of the game but the Rams then dominated play for an eight-minute span, recording three shots and five corner kicks. Devin Sullivan's shot in the 15^th minute was headed towards the upper right corner but was punched away by the goalkeeper.
 
After a Lions' shot was off target, Jefferson came back with two more shots and scored the first goal of the afternoon. Nikki Dedes got her head on a ball in the air in the offensive midfield and deflected it towards the goal. Sullivan anticipated the play and got ahead of the defense, going one-on-one with the goalie, and finding the lower left corner for a 1-0 lead in the 28^th minute. It was the final shot by either team in the half.
 
The Rams continued their strong play in the second half, with Sullivan putting a shot on target less than one minute into the period. Jefferson did not allow a shot for over 25 minutes and the Rams were able to pot an insurance goal in that time. Laural Erick dribbled down the right side and sent a cross to Dedes in the middle. Dedes did not miss and put Jefferson ahead by two in the 61^st minute. Molloy generated just one shot on goal the rest of the way.
