Box Score

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Junior Jessica Cuttone (Mahwah, N.J./Mahwah) and sophomore Virginia Sanford (Norfolk, Va./Norfolk Collegiate School) scored one goal apiece and the Gettysburg College women's soccer team blanked Washington College 2-0 in a Centennial Conference match-up Saturday afternoon at Clark Field.
 
With the win, the Bullets (5-2, 2-0 CC) became just the second women's soccer team in Centennial Conference history to reach 300 program victories, joining Johns Hopkins University.
 
It was the fourth shutout of the year for the Gettysburg defense, which held the Shorewomen (4-3-1, 0-2 CC) to six shots. Sophomore Kiera Loftus (Westfield, N.J./Westfield) turned aside four shots in goal for the Bullets to earn her third clean sheet of the season.
 
The Bullets needed just over three minutes to get on the scoreboard. Cuttone took a corner kick from the right before freshman Brooke Priddy (Darnestown, Md./Northwest) tracked down the loose ball and passed it back to Cuttone, who looped in a high-arching ball over the goalie from 30 yards out.
 
The rest of the half was defensively-controlled, as Washington took the only two shots the rest of the way. Loftus made one of her saves in the opening period and it was a 1-0 game at the intermission.
 
Gettysburg was able to find its offense in the second half, when it outshot the Shorewomen 8-4. The Bullets put the match away in the 76th minute, when Sanford scored her first career goal, heading home a corner kick from sophomore Alexa Bushey (West Chester, Pa./Bayard Rustin).
 
Loftus stopped three more shots in the second half, when Courtney Colbert recorded both of her saves for Washington.
 
The Bullets return to action on Wednesday, when they visit Frostburg State University in a non-conference affair starting at 7 p.m.
