The women's soccer team extended its unbeaten streak to 13 games yesterday defeating Alfred University 8-1.
The Raiders got on the score board first as Erika Luedke (Greece Arcadia) scored her 12
th goal of the season to give the Raiders a 1-0 lead. Mandi Hochheimer (Aquinas) would keep the charge going as she scored 3 straight goals in a five minute span to put the Raiders up 4-0. Sophomore
Vanessa Sell (Brockport) would finish the scoring in the first half to give the Raiders a 5-0 halftime lead. In the second half the Raiders would add three more goals as Mandi, Kelsey Medeiros (New Bedford, MA), and Michelle Roberts (Brockport) would finish the scoring out for the Raiders. Mandi would finish with 4 goals and 2 assists on the night, while Erika Luedke would finish with 1 goal and 4 assists for the Raiders.
“We came out a little sluggish today, but I expected that after a hard fought win against Notre Dame on Saturday night” commented Head Coach Berg. “I also believe the girls were looking forward to a big game on Saturday versus Houghton which could have led to a little loss of focus. Mandi did what she has been doing all year for us and this was a great game for her. Overall we played a strong game and the girls off the bench did a great job of continuing to play our style of play when they stepped on the field.”
The Raiders are back in action on Saturday, October 30 at 2:00pm as they travel to Houghton College in their last regular season game of the year. The Raiders are currently 13-2-1 and 8-0-1 in American Mideast Conference play.
