Scots 4-0 for First Time in Program History After Offensive Explosion |

| One of the questions entering the 2003 season for The
College of Wooster women’s soccer team was its ability to score.
After 16 goals in four matches, including 10 during this weekend’s
(Sept. 6-7) sweep of Indiana opponents Manchester College (5-2) and
Anderson University (5-0), it appears that the Scots can put those
concerns to rest, as they are 4-0 for the first time in the program’s
18-year history. On Saturday, Wooster fell behind 1-0 7:20 into
its match with Manchester, but quickly erased that deficit with
three-straight scores before the halftime break, including a pair
by Alexa McCarthy just 3:05 apart. They marked McCarthy’s
first goals of the year, while Bethany Reiner accounted for the
other one.
The Scots did not let up in the second half, as Reiner assisted
a Sarah BonDurant goal 12:09 into that stanza and Danielle Witchey
later capped the scoring with her third goal of the fall.
Sunday’s five goals against Anderson all came in the
second half. Brianna Lux started the offensive fireworks in the
49th minute of action, heading in a ball of a corner kick from Allison
Hankus. Midway through the half, Kristin Gardner started a three-goal
explosion over a 5:35 period. She was assisted by Reiner, while
Emily Sterling and Amanda Coppes quickly followed with back-to-back
unassisted scores to put the match away. Reiner finished a cross
from McCarthy in the 78th minute.
Wooster will attempt to keep its winning streak alive at home
on Wednesday afternoon (Sept. 10) against winless Muskingum College
(0-3) at 5 p.m.
