Box Score FREDERICK, Md. – The Arcadia University women's soccer team got on the board six and a half minutes into the match and never looked back on its way to a 4-0 MAC Commonwealth victory at Hood College Saturday afternoon to cap off its four-game road trip.
The Knights, who are ranked fifth in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Mid-Atlantic Region Rankings, improved to 8-1-2 with the win. The Blazers fell to 3-7-0 with the loss. It was the conference-opener for both teams.
Arcadia was awarded a corner kick 6:27 into the game and the volley was deflected into the net buy one of Hood's defenders for an own goal, which ended up being the goal that decided the match. Freshman forward
Lennon Kramer (Nazareth, Pa.) gave the Knights a 2-0 lead when she scored on a breakaway, placing the ball inside the lower left corner in the 31st-minute for her eighth tally of the season.
Junior forward
Kim Canfield (Hillsborough, N.J.) scored her conference-leading 12th goal of the season 4:21 into the second half as she chipped home a loose ball, and freshmen midfielder
Karis Poore (Reading, Pa.) scored her third goal of the year off Canfield's rebound in the 65th minute for the 4-0 final.
Arcadia outshot Hood 18-1 in the game, and the one shot the Knights allowed was wide of the net. Corner kicks also favored Arcadia 10-2.
Senior keeper
Jackie Law (Scotch Plains, N.J.) and junior keeper
Veronica Willig (Lancaster, Pa.) combined on the shutout without facing a shot on goal. Law started and earned the decision to improve to 6-0-2 for the season. Sophomore keeper Leah Norris (Bryans Road, Md.) fell to 3-7-0 for the Blazers after allowing all four goals while making five saves.
Arcadia will be back in action Wednesday when it hosts a MAC Commonwealth contest against Albright College at 7 p.m. at Easton Field.
