Wright Nets Pair of Goals in Win Over Kennesaw State; Highlanders Move Into First Place in ASUN

Freshman Fiona Wright netted a pair of goals in the Highlanders' 2-1 victory over visiting Kennesaw State in ASUN Conference action at Kean University East Campus Facility.

NJIT, winners of its last five-out-of-six contests, improves to 5-2 in the ASUN, 11-4-1 overall while the Owls move to 5-2 in the league, 12-4-1 overall.

With the win, the Highlanders which clinched its first-ever postseason appearance in the ASUN Conference, moved into the top spot in the ASUN (15 points) after tallying three points in the win over the Owls.

Wright scored a goal for the Highlanders in each half and now stands with 11th goals, which ranks tied for first in the ASUN Conference with FGCU's Evdokia Popadinova and tied for 10th in the nation.

Her 11 career goals rank one-shy the NJIT Division I record (12) held by Kori Washington (2007-10) and two-shy the NJIT all-time single-season record (13) held by Cathy Wasko '01.
