SAN ANTONIO – The Trinity University women's soccer team rolled past the University of St. Thomas on Sunday, September 27, scoring five unanswered goals in a 5-0 shutout at Paul McGinlay Field.
The Tigers (8-0) struck early, scoring in the sixth minute, and added a second goal in the 35th minute to take a 2-0 lead into halftime. Trinity pulled away in the second half with three goals in a span of just over seven minutes, between the 66th and 74th minutes, to seal the win. Trinity outshot the Celts (2-4-2) 38-2, including a 14-2 edge in shots on goal, and held an 18-1 advantage on corner kicks.
Erin O'Donnell (Southlake, Texas / Carroll) opened the scoring in the sixth minute, heading in a ball served by
Alex Doran (Boerne, Texas / Geneva School of Boerne).
Lilly Fant (Crownsville, Md. / Old Mill) doubled the lead in the 35th minute with a header of her own, assisted by
Emily Camp (Houston, Texas / The Kinkaid School) and
Hailey Schlosser (San Jose, Calif. / Branham). Doran then took over after the break, scoring unassisted in the 66th minute and again just over two minutes later to make it 4-0.
Finley Hoover (Houston, Texas / St. Agnes Academy) capped the scoring in the 74th minute after
Rowan Hankins (Salt Lake City, Utah / Judge Memorial Catholic) made a clever dummy run, letting a ball from
Anna Newland (Kirkwood, Mo. / Kirkwood) roll past her and sending Hoover in alone on the keeper. Hoover finished the 1-on-1 chance to seal the 5-0 victory for the Tigers, with Newland and Hankins credited with the assists.
Trinity Jefferson (Spring, Texas / Klein Oak) recorded two saves to preserve the shutout as the Trinity defense held St. Thomas to just two shots on the day. Doran's two-goal, one-assist performance led the Tigers' attack, and five different players factored into the scoring in another dominant outing for Trinity.
