Center Valley, PA (September 14, 2007) – Six different players registered points and junior Jessica Baker (Churchville, PA/St. Basil Academy) scored two goals to lead the DeSales University women's soccer team past Neumann College, 5-1, in the 2007 season home opener for the Bulldogs.
 
        DSU opened up a 2-0 lead via two first-half goals and scored three more times in a span on 2:16 in the second half to lead 5-0 before the Knights got on the board with an unassisted goal at the 82:47 mark. Baker started the scoring at the 11:31 mark when sophomore Emily LaDuke (Whitehall, PA/Whitehall) fed a pass to Baker in the middle of the field, Baker collected, turned and fired a shot into the upper left corner for her third tally of the season.
 
        Junior Dana Eustace (Highland Lakes, NJ/Vernon Township) made it 2-0 when she took a pass from sophomore Gina Locke (Gardner, MA/Gardner), tapped the ball past a diving keeper and finished the play off with an empty net shot at the 36:38 mark.
 
        Junior Katie Dishman (Nazareth, PA/Pen Argyl) started the scoring barrage in the second half when she took a pass on a free kick at the midfield stripe from freshman Justine Ciarieglio (Madison, CT/Daniel Hand), dribbled past several Knight defenders and fired a shot past the Neumann keeper. Just 2:05 later freshman Kaitlyn Gover (Northampton, PA/Northampton) took a header pass from Dishman off a crossing pass from Baker and knocked the ball into the lower left corner and just 21 seconds after that Baker scored her second goal off another feed from LaDuke.
 
        The Bulldogs held a 27-7 advantage in shots and sophomore Katie Halpin (Easton, PA/Notre Dame) was just over eight minutes away from earning her first career shutout making two saves. Junior Kristyn Shaner (Pottstown, PA/Pottsgrove) also helped keep Neumann off the board any further saving a shot from the right post off a corner kick late in the second half.
 
                The Bulldogs return to action on Sunday, September 16th when they host William Smith College in a non-conference game beginning at Noon.
