JERSEY CITY, NJ (NJCUGothicKnights.com) | Two-time All-New Jersey Athletic Conference junior goalkeeper Brittany Hoffman (McMurray, PA/Peters Township) made a career-high 21 saves—many of the highlight reel variety—and broke up a number of other chances by William Paterson University with an aggressive effort in net, but the Pioneers outshot NJCU, 40-0, and defeated the Gothic Knights, 3-0, in the 2013 NJAC opener for both sides on September 21 at the Robert L. McNulty Memorial Soccer Field.
Hoffman reached double figures in saves for the 14th time in her career and accomplished the feat in the first half alone when she made 14 stops. WPU (3-2-2, 1-0-0 NJAC) had 26 of its 40 shots in the first 45 minutes and led 2-0 at halftime. The Pioneers had an 8-0 advantage in corner kicks and were whistled for 18 offsides after committing 17 in the 2012 meeting between the schools. NJCU (1-3-1) was playing with 10 players after a pre-game medical emergency.
For Hoffman, the 21 saves were three more than her previous career high of 18 in a 2-2 (2 OT) tie against #22 SUNY Cortland on August 31, 2012.
