SPRINGFIELD, Mass.- The College of Saint Rose utilized a balanced attack that saw four different Golden Knights record a goal in tonight's 4-0 victory at American International. Saint Rose deposited two goals in each half and posted a 19-8 shot advantage over the Yellow Jackets to run its unbeaten streak to 13 matches.
Sophomore forward
Mia Klammer registered a season-best four points to pace Saint Rose on the evening. Klammer tallied a goal, in addition to assisting on the Golden Knights second and third scores of the match.
With 6:57 elapsed in the opening half, Klammer touched home a ball in the box that had been played in perfectly on a free kick by junior back
Sanna Rein. Freshman
Madelyn Wania made it 2-0 when she sent in a right-foot strike from 12 yards out in the 23rd minute, a play that began on a long throw in from Klammer.
Carolyn Brussel added to the scoring five minutes into the second half with a laser into the top-right corner from 25 yards away. Senior forward
Kaelyn Britt registered the final goal of the night for Saint Rose when she beat freshman goalkeeper Avery Lein to the high-left with 21 minutes remaining. Junior back
Aleysha Richards provided the assist on the Britt strike.
Freshman keeper
Pia Bozic made four saves in 70 minutes to help lead Saint Rose (10-0-3/6-0-3 NE10) to its seventh shutout of the season. Lein turned away seven shots in net for the Yellow Jackets (5-4-3/3-4-2 NE10).
Looking ahead, the Golden Knights travel to Flushing, N.Y. for a 3:00 pm non-conference meeting at Queens College. American International returns to action on Friday night at Southern Connecticut State.
