PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Scarlet Knight forward Kristen Edmonds' goal in the 22nd minute was the difference in an evenly matched game, as Rutgers edged St. John's, 1-0, in BIG EAST women's soccer action Friday night at Yurcak Field.
Edmonds gathered a pass from Domenique Esposito, dodged a defender in the penalty box and finished a shot into the bottom right of the goal. It was her first goal of the season.
St. John's tried to rally and had shots on goal from Sarah McGrath and Raelynne Lee, but both were saved by Scarlet Knight goalkeeper Erin Guthrie.
Jaime Beran got the starting nod in goal for St. John's, and finished with three saves.
Each team had eight shots, and Rutgers had a slight advantage in corner kicks, 6-4.
With the loss, St. John's record went to 8-5-2 (3-5-0 BIG EAST), while Rutgers improved to 7-7-2 overall and 2-4-2 in the league.
St. John's wraps up a four-game road swing Sunday at Seton Hall. Kick-off from Owen Carroll Field is 1 p.m.
