The Panthers controlled the match from start to finish, scoring six goals in the opening half, and then adding two more in the second.

Cerissa Divalentino found the back of the net five times for the Panthers, who start the season with a 1-0 record, both overall and in Skyline play.

Yeshiva (1-2, 0-1 Skyline) was led by sophomore goalkeeper Gabriella Chutter, who stopped nine shots in the first half. Freshman goalkeeper Rivka Lindenblatt made six saves in relief during the second half.

Junior midfielder Rebecca Rothschild and freshman forward Gabrielle Aboudi each produced a shot for Yeshiva.
