Box Score

BRYN MAWR, Pa. – The Gettysburg College women's soccer team opened its Centennial Conference schedule with its best offensive performance in four years, defeating host Bryn Mawr College 7-0 on Sunday afternoon. Freshman Casey Attanasio (Newtown, Pa./Council Rock North) led the Bullets with a pair of goals in her first collegiate start.

Gettysburg (4-1-0, 1-0-0 CC) posted its highest-scoring affair since an 8-0 win over Bryn Mawr (5-2-0, 0-1-0 CC) on Sept. 30, 2005. Attanasio put the wheels in motion with her first collegiate score just past the seven-minute mark of the opening period. Just under three minutes later, she tallied another goal off a feed from sophomore Sam Hellerman (Smithtown, N.Y./Smithtown West) to put Gettysburg up 2-0. With those goals, Attanasio became the first Bullet to notch multiple goals in a contest since the program's all-time leading goal scorer, Katie Myers '07, turned in a pair of scores against Franklin & Marshall College on Oct. 17, 2006.

Gettysburg added three more goals in the opening half. Sophomore Sara Montague (Newark, Del./St. Mark's) and junior Sarah Yeager (Westport, Conn./Staples) went back-to-back in the 25th and 28th minutes, respectively, with freshman Mackenzie Cobb (Ramsey, N.J./Ramsey) and sophomore Lauren Johnson (Morristown, N.J./Morristown-Beard) dishing out assists. Johnson took her offensive game one step further with her first career score off a free kick at 34:16.

Senior Kerry McKenna (Sharon, Conn./Kent School) contributed to each of the Bullets' final two goals in the second half. She picked up the assist on Cobb's first career score at 71:10 and just five minutes later, the Gettysburg senior closed the victory with a goal of her own. Junior Jordann Smak (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Mechanicsburg) registered the assist on the final score.

With the offense having its best match of the season, the defense went about business as usual en route to its fourth-straight shutout of the fall, tying the second-longest streak in school history. The Bullets extended their scoreless streak to 364:01 with the win, its longest since posting over 400 scoreless minutes in 2004.

Sophomore goalie Allie Rivera (Wading River, N.Y./Shoreham Wading River) started the contest and made a pair of saves, while freshman Carley Cesare (Boxborough, Mass./Acton Boxborough) made one save over the final 24:08.

Next up for Gettysburg is a date with the top women's soccer team in NCAA Division III, Messiah College, on Wednesday, Sept. 23. The match in Grantham, Pa., is scheduled for a 7 p.m. start.
