Gators Topple Titans 1-0
September 20, 2007
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. – A Katie Murphy (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) penalty kick goal 33 minutes into the game provided all of the scoring necessary for an Allegheny College 1-0 victory over the Titans of Westminster College on Thursday afternoon.
The Gators’ only score came 33:18 in the contest when the junior buried a penalty kick past the Westminster goalkeeper. Five second-half shots by Westminster were taken, with four of those finding the hands of Kelsie Mozzoni (Pittsburgh, Pa./Thomas Jefferson), who recorded a season-high eight saves while picking up her second shutout in the last three games.
Murphy led the team with four shots, with Ashley Miller (North Huntingdon, Pa./Norwin), Ashley Hughes (Wexford, Pa./North Allegheny), and Julia Muller (Canton, Mass./Canton) each taking three attempts at a score.
With the win, the Gators improve to 2-4-1 and will face off against Otterbein College on Saturday, with kickoff set for 4:00 p.m.
