Women take down RIT 2-1, improve to 5-0 on the year

The women's soccer team made it a clean sweep for the UR soccer program earlier today.

Grace Van Der Ven's second half goal turned out to be the game winner.
The men's team beat cross-town rival Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) last night, 3-1, and with the lady Jackets' 2-1 win today, UR takes the season series with RIT's soccer program. Neither the men or women are scheduled to play RIT for the remainder of the year.
