CALDWELL, N.J. (Sept. 26, 2009)- The C.W. Post women's soccer team took advantage of an early offensive surge to defeat the Caldwell College Cougars, 2-0, Saturday afternoon. Junior midfielder Danielle DeLuca (Islip, N.Y.) assisted on both goals to ensure the win for the Pioneers.

C.W. Post improves to an overall record of 6-2-1, 1-0 in the East Coast Conference. The Cougars fall to 1-6 overall, 1-2 in the CACC.
