Krista Fowlkes Ties Career
Assist Record in Houghton’s
8-0
Victory Over Point Park
Box Score
Houghton, N.Y. –
The
Lady Highlanders came out strong tonight to honor their seniors in their last
regular season home game, beating Point Park University 8-0.
Sr. Krista Fowlkes (Lake Placid, FL)
had two assists this evening tying the school record for most career assists
with 50.
The
scoring onslaught started just over three minutes into the first half when
Sr. Krista Fowlkes (Lake Placid, FL)
earned her first assist of the game by sending a ball
to Sr. Britany Crozier (Souderton,
PA) in the middle of the field; Crozier
controlled the pass and placed the ball low into the far left corner. Six
minutes later, So. Hannah Swift (Perrysburg,
NY) passed the ball to well defended Jr.
Bethany Kowalczyk (Waterford, PA). The pass deflected off a
defender right to the foot of Kowalczyk
who shot the ball low and hard past the diving keeper. Less than two minutes
later, Jr. Bethany Kowalczyk (Waterford, PA)
dribbled the ball through the middle drawing the defenders to her. She
spotted an open Sr. Bridget Toth (Victor,
NY) who was able to finish the ball without any pressure.
So. Hannah Swift (Perrysburg, NY) got her
second assist of the game in the 16th minute when she gave a drop
pass to Sr. Britany Crozier
(Souderton, PA) who hit a beautiful top corner shot from just outside of the
18 yard box. In the 19th minute Sr.
Jenn Switzer (New Milford, NJ) sent a pass to
Jr. Bethany Kowalczyk (Waterford, PA) who
moved the ball straight through the defense and finished her shot low into the
far left of the goal for her second score of the night. To finish the scoring
in the first half, Jr. Casey Lawton
(Springville, NY) hit a flat pass just outside of the 18 yard box to
So. Stacy Litz (Erie, PA) who hit a well
placed upper corner shot just out of the goalkeeper’s reach in the 30th
minute.
The
scoring did not stop there. In the second half Sr.
Krista Fowlkes (Lake Placid, FL) earned her second assist of
the day and tying the record on a pass to Sr.
Bridget Toth (Victor, NY) who hit a hard low drive to the left side
of the diving goalkeeper at the 68th minute mark. In the 87th
minute Jr. Andrea Duryea (Washington, NJ)
took a direct kick that sailed over the goalkeepers head below the crossbar
to wrap the goals for the night.
The
defense completely shut down the Point Park offense allowing them only one shot
the entire game. Sr. Meghan Radimer
(Branchville, NJ) earned her first shut out of the season and her second win
since returning from her knee injury.
The
Lady Highlanders finished their regular season with an outstanding 16-0-1 record
and a AMC record of 8-0-0. They look to further improve their record on
Saturday October 28th, in the AMC Qualifier at 2 PM on Burke Field.
