Box Score ANGOLA, Ind. - It was
record setting night for the Trine University women's soccer
team and they rolled over Anderson University 6-2. The six goals
scored by the Thunder are the most in a game since Trine joined the
MIAA in 2004. The Thunder are now 2-1 on the season.
Trine's offense got going early in the
first when sophomore Kayla Cochran (Mansfield, Ohio/Madison) took a
goal kick from the left side that found the back of the net. A
scramble in front of the goal, allow the ball to slide over the
head of the Ravens goalkeeper. Just eight minutes later,
junior Ruth Feliciano (Ashland, Ohio/Ashland) found the back of the
net on a header off a crossing pass from sophomore Kristin Elliott
(Wooster, Ohio/Wooster). Anderson would pull within a goal just two
minutes later when a loose ball in the box found the goal.
Leading 2-1 at the half, Elliott and the Thunder
wasted no time adding to their lead as she scored on her own header
in the 57th minute off a corner kick from Cochran. Elliott would
tally her second assists of the game when she found freshman Amy
Williams (Fort Wayne, Ind./Northrop) at the top of the box.
Williams deked the Ravens defender and fired a shot just over the
Anderson goalies head.
Not wanting to let up, the Thunder continued on
the attack as sophomore Danielle Rueter (Harrison, Ohio/William
Harry Harrison) took a breakaway and buried the ball in the left
side of the net. Just four minutes later, it was senior Shelly
Raupp (Vernon Hills, Ill./Vernon Hills) who found the back of the
net after a scramble in the box for a loose ball.
Anderson added a goal with just five minutes
remaining on a penalty kick.
In goal, senior Jen Wall (New Haven, Ind./New
Haven) earned the win playing the first 77 minutes. Sophomore Kate
Wegert (Elmore, Ohio/Woodmore) came on in relief for the final 13
minutes making one save.
Elliott finished the night with four points (goal
and two assists) to become just the second player in the last two
years to finish with four points. Elliott also becomes just the
second player with two assists in a game since 2008, the other was
Nikki Dixon in 2010 against Franklin College.
