Early Goals Propel Leopards to Victory at St. Peter's

Cunningham scores her first collegiate goal

JERSEY CITY, N.J. - The Lafayette women's soccer team picked up its fourth win of the year, shutting out St. Peter's on Sunday, 4-0, at Jaroschak Field.

The Leopards wasted no time in getting on the board, as freshman Nadia Zaffanella started the scoring in the 10th minute. Zaffanella received a perfectly placed through-ball by junior Alexa Jindal, that put the Ellington, Conn. native on the doorstep of the goal, where she sent a shot past the Peacocks' keeper into the low left corner of the goal.

Five minutes later, Lafayette continued its hot start. In the 15th minute, a St. Peter's foul led to a free kick from just outside the right side of the box. Senior Emily Coe triggered the set piece which found sophomore Katrina Santelli, who then headed the ball into the goal, increasing Lafayette's lead to 2-0.

Lafayette's offense did not cool off after the halftime break. Four minutes into the second half, senior Lauren Cunningham found an open lane to the goal down the left side of the field. After taking the ball into the box, Cunningham attempted to pass, but it was deflected right back to her. Cunningham then sent a shot on goal that was blocked by Peacocks' goalie Annabelle Adams, only to have the ball come right back to her. Cunningham did not miss the second opportunity, rocketing a shot into the low left corner of the goal, for her first collegiate tally. The Leopards led 3-0.

The Leopards were not finished. In the 72nd minute, senior Sara Oswald added another goal for the Maroon and White. A corner kick by Coe ping-ponged around the box before finding Oswald, who chipped the ball into the goal, to make the score 4-0.

Lafayette ended the afternoon with 24 shots, 14 of which were on goal. St. Peter's had 11 shots, with six on goal. The Leopards were awarded five corners, while the Peacocks had four. Oswald led the team with six shots, while Cunningham recorded three.  Coe, Jindal, Zaffanella, junior Michaela Salvati and freshman Ava Murphy all recorded two shots each. 

Dewar started the match for Lafayette and played the full 90 minutes, recording six saves. Her St. Peter's counterpart, Adams, also played 90 minutes and recorded 10 saves. 

The Leopards travel to Philadelphia, Pa. to face Penn at 6 p.m. on Thursday at Penn Park.
