The women's soccer team, losers of four straight games and winless since Sept. 6, was looking to make a statement against non-conference foe Delaware State last Friday.
Final score: Marist 11, Delaware St. 0. Statement made.
Not only did the Red Foxes (2-7) notch their first home victory of the season, the game's players set school records in goals, margin of victory and team scoring points. These feats eclipse previous records set during a 6-0 victory over St. Peter's on Sept. 19, 2001.
The Marist offense was paced by junior Jillian Berry, who scored two goals and recorded two assists. However, she got some help, as eight different players scored for the Red Foxes. Kristen Leonhard (one goal, two assists), Courtney Moore (one goal, one assist), Libby Ludwig (one goal, one assist), Justine Caccamo (one goal), Kat Murray (one goal, one assist), Laura Clark (one assist) and Liz Egan (one assist) all contributed to the Marist attack.
The defense also had a huge game for Marist Friday. The Red Fox defense did not allow a single shot on goal, allowing freshman Liz Herber to pick up her first career win with a shutout. Opposing goalie Whitney James had her hands full, managing 12 saves out of the 62 Marist shooting attempts.
The Red Foxes hope to make it two in a row in their Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference season opener, as they host Loyola (MD) on Friday at 7 p.m.
