Roth crossed the ball into Gordon, who was making a slashing run toward goal where she was able to head it far post beating Clarion goalkeeper Jess Reed.

Davis was very pleased with the all-around effort from her team in tonight’s game.

Sarah Thomas (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) and Jenny Finocchiaro (Pilesgrove, N.J./Woodstown) both turned in solid performances while helping the Haven earn the important conference win.

“We are very pleased to get the win tonight,” Davis said. “It was a good result especially since Emily broke the record and got the shutout, the win was icing on the cake for us.”
