MEADVILLE, Pa. – The Allegheny College Gators used goals from Katie Murphy (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) and Abby Silvester (Mentor, Ohio/Lake Catholic) to upend 7-2-1 Earlham College in the North Coast Athletic Conference opener for both schools.
Silvester added a goal off of an assist from Ashley Miller (North Huntindon, Pa./Norwin) just seven minutes into the second stanza, giving the Gators a two-goal cushion, one they needed as the Quakers were awarded a penalty kick after a handball in the box, an attempt that Callie Thompson buried into the back of the net with 22 minutes remaining in the contest. The penalty kick would be the last shot attempt for the Quakers, as Allegheny’s defense tightened, helping the team hold on to the league victory.
Allegheny goalkeeper Kelsie Mozzoni (Pittsburgh, Pa./Thomas Jefferson) picked up five saves in goal, while her counterpart Megan Holthaus had 10 while allowing the two goals.
