PHILADELPHIA – After a quick 2-0 start to the spring 2021 campaign, the La Salle women's soccer team looks to continue the hot start on Thursday when it travels to NJIT for a 3 p.m. match.
SCOUTING THE EXPLORERS:
- La Salle is off to a record start with 13 goals and 37 points – the most in program history through two games.
