Hamilton dominates Utica for 4-0 women's soccer win
The Hamilton College women's soccer team (4-4-3) matched its highest-scoring game of the season Sunday, rolling to a 4-0 win over visiting Utica College (3-10-) at Love Field. Four Continentals scored a goal and Hamilton held the Pioneers without a shot for the game's first 72 minutes.
Kendall Daly '17 had a hand in three of Hamilton's goals, finishing with a career-best four points.
Hamilton opened the scoring in the seventh minute when Becca Rees '16 converted a rebound after Utica goalkeeper Jamie Enders '17 saved Daly's initial shot. The goal was Rees' third of the year.
Enders finished with 12 saves and helped keep the game a one-goal affair with a leaping save of Daly's shot to the upper right corner less than two minutes after Rees' goal.
Morgan Fletcher '17 scored her first career goal, rocketing a 25-yard shot into the upper left corner after the ball came to her off a Pioneer defender.
The Continentals added a pair of late goals to seal the win. Daly scored her team-leading fourth goal of the season in the 80th minute on a shot from just inside the box, then set up Ali Clarke '17 five minutes later with a through ball that Clarke put past Enders for her first career goal.
Liz Gergenti '14 didn't need to make a save to record her second shutout of the weekend and her fourth of the year. Gergenti has collected 18 shutouts in her career.
The Continentals return to NESCAC play Saturday, hosting Tufts. Utica hosts Nazareth Saturday.
