Box Score
WALTHAM, MA–The College of Saint Rose closed out its 2013 regular-season campaign and registered its 15th clean sheet of the season with today's 4-0 victory at
Northeast-10 Conference rival Bentley.
The Golden Knights (16-0-2/12-0-2 NE-10) had already secured at least a share of their eighth consecutive regular-season conference championship and thus will host an NE-10 Championship quarterfinal this Tuesday, November 5, at 4:00 pm against an undetermined opponent. That match is scheduled to be streamed live on
www.gogoldenknights.tv.
Saint Rose, ranked #5 in the most recent
NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division II Weekly Poll, was clicking on all cylinders this afternoon. The Golden Knights engineered a 15-2 shot advantage, including a 9-2 differential in shots-on-target, and developed 17 corner kick opportunities while yielding only one.
Six different players figured in the scoring. Junior back
Jourdan Thompson scored two goals while sophomore midfielder
Michaela Phillips and senior midfielder
Allison Schmidt had one apiece. Fellow senior midfielder
Sydney Bond set up two of the strikes, while freshman midfielder
Emily Meeks and senior midfielder
Niki Smith each had an assist as well.
Senior keeper
Jessica Gerski was called upon to make one save in each half. At the other end, junior Christiana Hynds recorded five saves for the Falcons (2-12-2/1-11-2 NE-10).
The Golden Knights got out to a quick start. Thompson headed home a corner from Meeks just 10 minutes in to make it 1-0 Saint Rose, which is where it stood at the break. Phillips then finished a Bond cross from the right wing just two minutes into the second period, before Thompson got her head to another Bond cross that made it 3-0 with 60:07 elapsed. Schmidt closed out the scoring when she got in the air to deposit a Smith delivery into the back of the net.
