Union, N.J. (9/13/08) - Senior Amanda Pitts (Rahway, N.J.) netted two second half goals to propel Kean University past visiting Manhattanville College, 2-1, Saturday evening at Kean Alumni Stadium. With the win the Cougars improve to 4-1 while the Valiants drop to 2-4.

After a scoreless first half of action that saw just six combined shots, Pitts responded quickly after the break notching the match's first goal at 46:06 off a cross from senior Nicole Tahan (Clifton, N.J.). It didn't take long for the Valiants to respond and tie things up as junior Bailey Flood (South Lake Tahoe, Calif.) took a pass from Kathryn Moore (Pearl River, N.J.) in the 53rd minute. KU took the lead for good as Pitts broke through off an assist from freshman Jillian Raider (Hamilton, N.J.) up the middle at 56:10.

Manhattanville keeper Ali Bromson (Suffield, Conn.) recorded five saves while Kean goalkeeper Nicole Grosew (Denville, N.J.) had none as the Cougar defense held things in check.

Kean returned to action on Saturday, September 20, 2008, when they traveled to The College of New Jersey to open up New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) action.
