WESTMINSTER, Md. – The Dickinson women's soccer team got goals from four different players, including two first-half tallies just over four minutes apart, to remain unbeaten in Centennial Conference action with a 4-1 victory over McDaniel College on Saturday afternoon at the Soccer Complex.
First Half
- Dickinson went looking for an early breakthrough as Isabelle Bariso, Anna Bitsko and Ivana Vukas each let shots go within the opening seven minutes, but none of them bothered Sierra Ruehl.
- The Green Terror registered their first attempt in the 15th minute when Alexis Castro missed over the top of Pico Gray's goal.
- After Ava Prisco and Bitsko missed wide of the target, the Red and White broke through with 26:02 off the clock as Joelle Ma set up Norah Heacock for the finish and a 1-0 advantage.
- Just over four minutes later, Dickinson doubled the lead when Vukas found the upper-right portion of the net following a Devils corner to make it 2-0.
- McDaniel tried to answer immediately, but Gray turned away Alexis Keller-Posen with 30:53 elapsed.
- Alaina Miller had the final chance of the period for the hosts, but her attempt was blocked as the visitors carried their two-goal cushion into the break.
Second Half
- Ruehl was called upon less than two minutes into the second period, denying Bitsko, before Gray answered Carly Brock at the other end in the 53rd minute.
- Bridget Merkel sent an attempt wide in the 56th, while Heacock forced another stop from Ruehl off a Dickinson corner just before the hour mark.
- The Green Terror continued to search for a way back into the match as Miller had an attempt cleared away by the Dickinson defense with 60:45 gone, before Brock rang the crossbar in the 67th.
- However, it would be the Red and White who struck next as Bariso found Prisco for a finish into the upper-right corner with 71:01 off the clock to extend the advantage to 3-0.
- After Madisyn Aurigemma missed the target for the hosts, Ma added her name to the scoresheet with an unassisted tally in the 85th minute to make it 4-0.
