WALTHAM, Mass. – Brandeis University senior midfielder
Sarah Jasak (Middletown, N.J.) scored a pair of goals today to lead
the host Judges to a 2-0 victory in their regular season finale
against University Athletic Association foe New York University on
a rain-swept Gordon Field.
Brandeis (10-6-2, 3-3-1 UAA) got all the scoring they would need in
the 27th minute. Senior forward Tzlil Castel (Boston, Mass./Beaver
CDS) controlled the ball as Brandeis had the advantage. She slotted
the ball to Jasak, who took one touch and blasted the ball past NYU
senior keeper Katie Barnes (Boston, Mass./Boston Latin). It was
Jasak's team-leading seventh goal of the season.
The Judges added an insurance goal in the 83rd minute. With the
wind at Brandeis's back to create added pressure, senior midfielder
Kalina Ehrenreich-Piot (Boulder, Colo.), just off the bench,
dribbled in and took a shot. Barnes stopped the initial attempt,
but Jasak was there to knock home her second goal of the game,
giving her three multi-goal games on the season.
NYU (10-6-2, 1-5-1) nearly got a goal back in the final two minutes
on a shot by rookie Laura Palumbo (Brooklyn, N.Y.) off a corner
kick, but Brandeis sophomore netminder Hillary Rosenzweig (Boca
Raton, Fla.) made a fine one-handed save. Rosenzweig finished with
four saves to record her fourth shutout of the season. Barnes made
six saves in the losing effort for the Violets, while junior
Rebekah Kramer (Middletown, Del.) had one save in seven-plus
minutes of action.
