No. 5-ranked Tartans overpower Owls at Mavec

GAMBIER, Ohio -- A strong Carnegie Mellon University team, one ranked No. 5 in NCAA Division III, got rolling early and didn't give an inch to the Kenyon College women's soccer team during a rain-soaked 5-0 game at Mavec Field on Friday.

The visiting Tartans (6-0-3) scored within the game's first three minutes and never looked back. That first goal came off the foot of Saveria Ulizzi, after she picked up a loose ball deflected by a Kenyon defender.

Roughly three minutes later, the Tartans struck again. A crossing pass from Sophia Bastek made its way from the right side to the center of the box. That's where Audrey Biano got a head on it and directed it into the left side of the Kenyon net.

Within the 24-minute mark, Carnegie tallied two more goals. Ulizzi scored off an assist from Bianco and then Ulizzi served up an assist on a goal scored by Cecelia Dieterich.

The teams went into the break with the score at 4-0 and with Carnegie Mellon out-shooting Kenyon, 14-2. During the half, Kenyon's best chance came in the 28th minute, when first-year Emily Copeland worked the right side, dribbled around three Carnegie Mellon defenders and got a shot off that was saved by Tartans goalkeeper Maddie Kellogg.

The Carnegie Mellon attack let up a little in the second half, but Ulizzi didn't. She netted her third goal and her seventh point of the game. That goal, the Tartans' final one of the game, occurred in the 53rd minute of the contest. Coming into the game, Ulizzi had two goals in her eight games played this season.

Kenyon (1-6-0) managed just one more shot in the second half, but it was off target. When the final horn sounded, Carnegie Mellon had a 23-3 lead in shots and 6-1 advantage in corner kicks.

In addition to Copeland's first-half shot, Kenyon's other shots came from Holly Byun and Jamie Murphy. Owls' starting goalkeeper, Ariel Kite, played the first 60 minutes of the game and made seven saves. First-year Nina Nicoletti played the final 30 minutes and went untested.
