3-0 Shutout Over Spartans
Mercy College junior Delmara
Reece sinks two more goals to her season tally.
DOBBS FERRY, N.Y.
– The Mercy College women's soccer team notched
three-straight home victories with a 3-0 East Coast Conference shut
out over St. Thomas Aquinas College Tuesday afternoon on Mercy
College Field. Junior forward Delmara Reece (Yonkers,
N.Y.) once again sunk two goals in the win, to help the
Mavericks to their first league win of the season.
With the win, the Mavericks advanced
to 3-5-0 overall and 1-2-0 in the ECC. The Spartans fell to 3-10-0
on the season and 0-6-0 in the conference.
Both of Reece's goals were
unassisted.
The Mavericks and Spartans were
scoreless in the first half despite Mercy College's seven
shots to St. Thomas Aquinas' four. Coming back from the
break, Reece scored in the 48th minute of play unassisted to break
the 0-0 tie.
In the 59th minute, Reece netted her
sixth goal of the season for her second-straight multi-goal game as
she broke to the goal from the right corner, beat out Spartan
goalkeeper Jeanette Gibson for the corner and scored.
The Mavericks netted their safety goal
in the 79th minute of play as Reece and senior Ann Meenagh
(Dublin, Ireland) broke through the midfield beat out
three Spartan defenders and went two-on-two with the last defender
and Gibson. Meenagh got away from the defender and broke away for a
one-on-one with the goalkeeper and took a shot from about 15 yards
away. Meenagh's shot was good for her third goal of the
season.
Mercy College goalkeeper, rookie
Stephanie DiLegge (Bay Shore, N.Y.) tallied her
second shut out of the season. DiLegge made six saves in the net
for the Mavericks.
The Mavericks are back in action on
Saturday, Oct. 17 for a road contest with ECC-foe NYIT. Game time
is set for 2:30 p.m. against the Bears of Brookville, N.Y.
