Frederick, MD, (October 9, 2004) – The DeSales University women’s soccer team snapped its eight-game winless streak with a 3-1 win over Hood College in non-conference action on Saturday afternoon.

 

        Junior Rachel Emmons (Doylestown, PA/Central Bucks West) scored two goals including the game-winner to lead DSU.  Emmons’ goals each came within the first eight minutes as she scored an unassisted marker at the 2:44 mark and tallied the eventual game-winner at the 7:48 mark off a feed from sophomore Rachel Roderer (Stewartsville, NJ/Timothy Christian).

 

        Hood made it a one-goal game at the 33:49 mark of the first half as Laura Pitts scored off a pass from Amellis Peart, but DSU senior Meaghan Laurich (Warminster, PA/Archbishop Wood) scored her fifth tally of the season with just under 14 minutes as the insurance goal for the Bulldogs.

 

        Sophomore Kelly Hinklle (Quakertown, PA/Quakertown) made fives to earn the win in between the pipes.  DeSales out-shot Hood, 27-9.

 

        DSU continues on the road on Sunday as they travel to Marymount University for another non-conference battle beginning at 1:00 pm.
