Women's Soccer Cruises To Second Straight CSAC Win, 4-0

Box Score

IMMACULATA, Pa.- The Immaculata women's soccer team netted four first half goals and cruised in the second half of a 4-0 victory over Notre Dame (2-5, 0-2 CSAC), their second consecutive CSAC win.  The Mighty Macs (3-6, 2-0 CSAC) got two goals from junior Rachel Gannon, and one apiece from senior Amanda Markie and freshman Shelby Clare.
 
Gannon wasted little time in getting Immaculata the lead as she scored her team-leading fourth goal of the season just 2:45 into the game.  On a corner kick, Clare sent a ball into the box that took one bounce and Gannon headed it over top of the keeper's head for the 1-0 lead.  The assist was Clare's third in the last two games.
 
The offense kept coming for IU as Gannon scored her second goal of the game and fifth of the season in the 15th minute after taking a deflected pass from freshman Rachel Lamb and finding the back of the net.
 
Clare would score the first goal of her career and collect her third point of the day in the 21st minute as she lofted a shot from 30 yards out that beat the goalie for a 3-0 Immaculata advantage.  Freshman Paulina Rucci had her first career assist on the goal.
 
Immaculata would convert one more time before the end of the first half to make it two consecutive halves with four goals going back to Saturday's victory over Baptist Bible.  Junior Barbara Stanley hit a shot that deflected off the crossbar and Markie was there for the rebound as she headed it in for the third goal of her career.  The assist was Stanley's second in her career and first since 2011.
 
Junior Meghan McCurnin and sophomore Elizabeth McBride combined on the shutout.
 
The Mighty Macs will now have off until next Wednesday when they travel to Neumann for a 7 p.m. start.
 
NOTES: Gannon is now tied for 9th in team history in career points with 27 and tied for 7th in goals with 11.
