Lawrenceville, N.J. -- After creating dozens of chances individually, senior Natalie Tavana (Middletown, Conn.) scored a goal in the 67th minute that lifted the Seton Hall women's soccer team to a 1-0 victory over Rider on Sunday evening.

Seton Hall (2-1-1) finished with a dominant 24-5 advantage in shots and a 10-2 edge in shots on goal. Tavana now has 19 career goals and two goals this season, both assisted by freshman Olivia Beauvois (Windsor, Conn.). Tavana set career highs with nine shots and five shots on target.

How It Happened

Seton Hall controlled the possession battle in the first half and it had put up six shots to Rider's two through the first 10 minutes. In the 11th minute, Tavana forced a turnover and found herself one-on-one with the keeper. The keeper dove and made contact with Tavana's foot, drawing a penalty kick opportunity. Pucci stepped to the spot and delivered a strike that went off the center of the crossbar and back into play, keeping the score knotted at 0-0.

The Pirates continued to create opportunities in the first 10-plus minute of the second half where they put up seven shots and didn't allow a single Rider shot. Rider's first shot on goal came 61 minutes into the game but it was saved by freshman Avery Strohecker (Riding, Va.). More than five minutes later, Beauvois possessed in the Pirates' attacking half and sent a shot that reached the outside of the six-yard box. Tavana was able to get a foot on the attempt and it ricocheted into the goal.

Healthcare costs rising

Obesity is a huge problem in the country. But in Europe there are many additives in foods that are banned and allowed here. Maybe we need to at least start there.
Obesity is a huge problem, yet the only candidate to talk about it was censored from everything he tried to get involved with. Now that he's out of the race maybe his ideas can be talked about. As of right now this huge problem isn't on the radar of either candidate.

We have an obesity problem because we've followed the money and not the science for decades. 12 of the last 16 years the country has been led by the party of science and done nothing about it. One attempt by Michelle Obama and the lobbyists shut her down the next day because it would hurt bottom lines. And instead of doing right for the people, they caved and did what's right for big business. Next time we hear Trump only cares about Trump, democrats don't care about us either. More money to be made with high fructose corn syrup than sugar. Mexico forces Coca-Cola to make Mexican coke because you can't buy regular coke there. More money to be made with additives giving longer shelf lives. Who ultimately profits from these foods that should be banned....Big Pharma.

This whack job Kennedy was willing to take on some real issues. One day people might realize he's not too far off on this vaccine thing either.

The additives and the way cows are grown with growth hormone and chickens raised with antibioitcs and the way grain is farmed is ridiculous in our country. Also adding to IBS and other gastro issues in many Americans.

Kennedy is correct though - America needs to get healthier and you may disagree with his opinions but the guy is in great shape.

Health insurance is a complete mess in the USA. People don't understand the concept of insurance and want everything covered. I guess they have a point with how much it costs but certain conditions should not be covered unless it causes a true health issue. Covering everything is also what pushes the premiums sky high.
