PHILADELPHIA–The College of Saint Rose scored four first half goals on the way to today's 5-0 victory at Holy Family. The Golden Knights (2-0-0) struck twice in the opening 20 minutes and then added another pair one minute apart, before closing out the scoring early in the second half.
Â
Saint Rose engineered a 23-8 shot advantage and manufactured eight corner kicks, all in the second half, while yielding only four.
Â
Junior forward
Morgan Burchhardt recorded her first career hat trick to lead the charge. A pair of freshmen in forward
Victoria Barris and midfielder
Karmyn Carter accounted for the other two tallies. Freshmen midfielders
Deanna Trongone,
Caitlyn Dabagian and
Nia Brown each set up a goal as did junior midfielder
Totianyu Guadalupe.
Â
Between the posts, freshman
Marika Laurendeau and sophomore
Madison Taylor made a collective three saves as each played a half.
Â
Barris scored what held up as the game winner in the 12th minute when she finished a feed from Trongone for her fourth strike of the young season. Burchhardt converted a penalty kick eight minutes later and touched home a Dabagian feed in the 35th to make it 3-0 Saint Rose. A minute after that, Brown and Carter linked up.
Â
Burchhardt eventually capped off the scoring when she buried a pass from Guadalupe in the 56th.
Â
Looking ahead, the Golden Knights are back on the road Monday with a 2:30 pm meeting at Wilmington. Meanwhile, the Tigers are off until next Saturday when they travel to Bronxville, NY for a noon date at Concordia.
