Rochester College silenced the Homecoming crowd with two goals in the
first 12 minutes of play, but HU re-grouped and scored five unanswered
goals, four or which came in the second half, to pick up the 5-2 win.
After their poor start, the
Foresters started to get things going when Sarah Kaufman found an open
Mindy Perry inside the penalty area to draw a goal back in the 22nd
minute. Despite a few other opportunities, that was all the offense
the Foresters could muster and went into the break trailing 2-1.
In the second half the Foresters
quickly found the equalizer in the 49th minute when Bethany Lewis
crossed the ball into the box and Shannon Holly hit a glancing header
that found the net just inside the far post. HU then took the lead
when Perry crossed into the box where Kaufman hit a driving
header for the third Forester goal in the 54th minute. Perry once
again tallied an assist when she fed Holly just three minutes later to
make the score 4-2. Kaufman struck the final tally in the 67th minute
for a 5-2 final.
“We had another slow start today but I was very
pleased with the second half," said Coach Datema. "Our defense shut
down the Rochester attack and our forwards were able to finish.
Shannon Holly had a great game. Not only did she score two great goals
but she was a constant threat throughout the game.”
Huntington now stands at 4-6 on the year. |
