Trinity Blanks Dallas Sunday Afternoon

 

San Antonio - Trinity's women's soccer team recorded its fourth consecutive shutout on Sunday afternoon, beating the University of Dallas 9-0.

Trinity (6-2-1) led 2-0 at the half, then exploded for seven more in the second period.  Eight different players scored for the Tigers, with the final goal being an own-goal charged against Dallas. 

Alex Leamy was credited with the game-winner, opening the day's scoring in the 32nd minute of play.  Danika Wright then scored just over four minutes later to finish off the first period's scoring.

Tiger first-year Dana Carter made it 3-0 just 44 seconds into the second period, with an assist from Allyson Hunter.  Carter then assisted on the next goal in the 57th minute, setting up Lauren Folkman.

In the 61st minute, Hunter scored an unassisted goal, then Abigail Loar did the same in the 69th minute of play. Just a few minutes later, Brianna Young crossed the ball into the six-yard box, and after the Dallas goalkeeper deflected it to the middle of the field, Grace Rizza made a nice pass to Chelsea Wilson for a goal.  It was the second assist of the game for Young, who assisted on Leamy's game-winner.

Rizza then scored the next goal for Trinity in the 75th minute, assisted by Julia Zangirolami.  With just over three minutes left, a Dallas defender tried to clear the ball out of play over her own goal, but instead knocked it into the net for an own-goal.

Trinity's offense peppered 57 shots at the Dallas defense, while the Tigers did not allow a shot in the entire game. 

Trinity remains at home for another round of SCAC play next weekend, facing off against Oglethorpe on Friday, then taking on Sewanee on Sunday.
