LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock University women’s soccer team (1-0) was dominate in its 2009 season opener as the Lady Eagles soared past visiting Ohio Valley (0-2) 12-0 this afternoon.
The 12 goals rank as the second most in school history for a single game.
Seven different players scored for the Lady Eagles and a pair of players recorded hat tricks.
Junior Jennifer Williams (Clearfield, Pa./Clearfield) put Lock Haven up 1-0 just 1:16 into the match and less than 20 minutes into the contest she had the natural hat trick with three goals in the first half.
Junior Brittany Cranmer (Lock Haven, Pa./Central Mountain) also netted a trio of goals to help pace Lock Haven’s offensive explosion.
Amy Witman (Delmont, Pa./Franklin Regional) added a pair of goals with four other players finding the back of the net for The Haven.
Sophomores Hayley Zinn (Wyomissing, Pa./Wyomissing) and Kim Bentley (Springdale, Pa./Springdale) split time in net, but neither was forced to make a stop as Lock Haven’s dominating play never yielded a shot for Ohio Valley.
LHU led 10-0 at halftime and outshot OVU 29-0.
The Lady Eagles return to action on Wednesday, September 2 at 2 p.m. when they play host to Slippery Rock University.
