CHESTERTOWN, Md.--The Hood College women's soccer team (7-4-1)
extended its unbeaten streak to seven in a row Saturday with a 3-1
defeat of Washington College (1-9) in nonconference action.
Wesley took the early advantage in the 25th minute when Gabby
Devaud scored off a through ball from Aliina Lahti. But the Blazer
offense came alive in the second half, outshooting the Wolverines
13-4 which translated into three goals. Carlie Colella notched her
seventh goal of the season in the 62nd minute off a feed from
classmate Jessica Devine to knot the score at 1-1. Then Cara Jordan
tallied a pair of unassisted scores to lift Hood to its seventh win
of the season, matching last year's total.
Colella now has 22 points on the season which ranks her sixth on
Hood's all-time single-season chart. Kirsten Cacciola was credited
with the win for working a scoreless second half and coming up with
a pair of stops.
Hood next travels to Stevenson University for a 4 p.m. Capital
Athletic Conference tilt. The Mustangs are currently in third place
in the league with a 1-0-1 mark in CAC contests while Hood sits in
sixth at 3-2.
