Kowalczyk Nets 4 goals in Win over Daemen
6-0
Box Score
Houghton,
N.Y.
–
It was
once again a cold night for the Highlanders as they took the field tonight
against the Daemen Wildcats in the NAIA qualifier match at Burke Field. The
temperature continued to drop throughout the game while the Highlanders play
began to heat up. Jr. Bethany Kowalczyk
(Waterford, PA) led the Highlanders efforts scoring four goals and
registering one assist on the night.
The
Highlanders struck first in the 5th minute, as
Sr. Bridget Toth (Victor, NY) found an open
Jr. Bethany Kowalczyk (Waterford, PA)
who put the ball past the Wildcat goalie. The second goal came in the 10th
minute from a double assist starting with Sr.
Krista Fowlkes (Lake Placid, FL)
who passed the ball to Jr. Rebecca Smith (Carlisle, PA)
connecting with So. Mandy Lewandowski
(North East, PA) who hammered the ball into the net. This assist gives Sr.
Krista Fowlkes (Lake Placid, FL) 51 assists for her career breaking
the school record.
The third Highlander
goal came as a scramble in front of the Wildcat net allowed
Jr. Sarah Whipple (Canandaigua, NY) to pull
the goalie towards her and left an open Jr. Bethany
Kowalczyk (Waterford, PA) who slid the ball into the net.
It only
took the Highlanders 1:30 to find the back of the net in the second half as
Jr. Bethany Kowalczyk (Waterford, PA)
scored her 3rd goal of the game off an assist by
Sr. Bridget Toth (Victor, NY). In the 56th
minute Jr. Bethany Kowalczyk (Waterford, PA)
netted her 4th and final goal of the night unassisted. The
Highlanders closed out the scoring in the 58th minute as
Jr. Bethany Kowalczyk (Waterford, PA) put
the ball on the foot of Sr. Britany Crozier
(Souderton, PA) who put the ball past the Wildcat goalie.
With
today’s win, the lady Highlanders have earned their 14th consecutive
Region Final Four appearance.
The
Highlanders are host to the
NAIA
Region IX/X Final Four this weekend at Burke Field. It is undetermined who the
