Highlanders Defeat Neighbor Daemen 4-0
Box Score
Houghton,
N.Y. –
The
Highlanders came out strong despite the wet conditions on Tuesday night
defeating AMC North Division opponent Daemen College 4-0. The Highlanders came
out aggressive with multiple shots in the first three minutes.
Jr. Bethany
Kowalczyk (Waterford,
PA)
hit the
post twice off early shots. She continued to lead her team’s offensive drive by
shooting with some of her shots being blocked by Wildcats goalkeeper Ally
Young. However, this did not stop the Highlanders.
Sr. Brittany Crozier
(Souderton, PA)
started
off the scoring in the 16th minute.
Crozier took a pass off a free kick from
Sr. Bridget Toth (Victor, NY) and was able
to put it past the goalkeeper into the corner of the goal.
So. Hannah Swift (Perrysburg, NY) scored
the second goal for the Highlanders in the 28th minute by picking up
a rebound from the goalkeeper off an outside shot from
Kowalczyk and slamming it into the back of
the net. Kowalczyk continued lead her
team with shots and came close to scoring in the 30th minute, but
Daemen’s goalie made the save by pushing
Kowalczyk’s shot into the crossbar.
In the
54th, So. Mandy Lewandowski
(North East, PA) took a pass from Sr. Jennifer
Switzer (New Milford, NJ) and blasted a shot into the goal
from 15 yards out. Just two minutes later Toth
scored off a rebound from another Kowalczyk
shot. The Highlanders did not stop their offensive drive there, however, in the
78th minute, Jr. Andrea Duryea
(Washington, NJ) hit the post. The score remained 4-0, but the
Highlanders and their offense did not disappoint the fans.
The
Highlanders look to continue their dominance in the National rankings and to
better their 11-0-1 record during Homecoming weekend against Milligan College of
Tennessee on October 7th at 1PM at Burke Field.
