First of Season Proves to be 30th Goal of Pumilia's Career
September 5, 2009
TOWSON, Md. – Goucher nursed a 1-0 lead for nearly 63
minutes this afternoon before tacking on two more goals to emerge
with a 3-0 victory over Lancaster Bible at Beldon Field.
The Gophers (1-1) were able to get 14 shots off in the first half,
but they had only an unassisted goal by Sarah Lodge
(Pilesgrove, N.J./Woodstown) just :38 into the contest to
show for their offensive efforts. It wasn't until the 64th minute
that the advantage grew to 2-0 on a goal by McKenna
Wilkinson (Keene, N.H./Keene) that was set up by Sarah
Eaby (New Holland, Pa./Lancaster Country Day School).
At 75:16, Sisley Pumilia (Spofford, N.H./Keene) tallied her first
goal of the young season to become only the third player in the
history of Goucher's women's soccer program to reach 30 goals
during her career. Nicole Sanfilippo (Kew Gardens, N.Y./The
Wheatley School) was awarded an assist on Pumila's goal, which put
the Chargers (0-1) in a 3-0 hole.
By making five saves, junior goalkeeper Kellen Matthews
(Northboro, Mass./Algonquin Regional), who was already the
all-time leader in shutouts at Goucher, registered the 10th of her
career.
