Brockport women unbeaten in college soccer
by Warren Kozireski
The Golden Eagles jumped out to a 3-0 lead over the first 42 minutes and defeated Medaille 4-0 to remain unbeaten this season at 4-0-1.
Senior Kaila Maguire put Brockport up 1-0 at 16:19 off a pass from Vanessa Gillette before Gillette netted her fourth goal of the season six minutes later from Sarah Lawson.
Just prior to the end of the first half, Maria Malone netted her first goal of the season off a pass from Lauren Drago.
At 66:44, senior Brooke Greer took a through-pass from Drago and scored from 20 yards out and scored her first of the campaign for the final tally.
Goalkeepers Laura Thompson and Hannah Conine combined for six saves in the shutout.
“We just tried to get a look at some different faces,” said longtime head coach Joan Schockow. “We’ve been trying to find time for them; we feel good about our recruits and it was good to finally see what they can do.
“We keep telling them the conference (SUNYAC) is different and that the tough stuff is coming. The main thing is to get them ready mentally and physically for those tough conference games.”
The Golden Eagles, outscoring their opponents 23-4 through the early going, begin a stretch with six of seven games on the road starting this weekend at Oneonta and New Paltz.
