SCORE
WALTHAM, Mass. – Behind a goal and an assist by Melissa
Gorenkoff, the Brandeis University women's soccer team knocked off
visiting Bowdoin College, 3-0, in a non-conference showdown on
Gordon Field Thursday evening. With the win, the Judges improve to
9-5-1 on the season, while the Polar Bears fall to 6-3-3.
Brandeis wasted no time in getting on the board, scoring just 67
seconds into the contest. Gorenkoff's initial shot from just inside
the goalie box was stopped by Bowdoin senior Kelly Thomas, but
sophomore forward Kelly Cozzens was on the spot to bang home the
rebound. The game went to the half with the score 1-0 as the Judges
owned a 9-8 edge in shots.
Gorenkoff doubled the lead in the 61st minute when her blast from
25 yards out went into the upper left corner, just out of the reach
of a leaping Thomas. Rookie Kaitlin Oldfield added an insurance
goal in the 67th minute when she headed in her own rebound.
Bowdoin ended up outshooting Brandeis, 16-14, but Judge junior
Hillary Rosenzweig made seven saves for her seventh shutout of the
campaign. Young finished with six saves and three goals allowed in
the first 67 minutes, while sophomore Kat Flaherty was untested in
the final 22 minutes.
Bowdoin travels to CBB rival Colby in a NESCAC contest Saturday at
11 a.m.
