Video Box Score

Albany, New York—The Trailblazers scored three first-half goals, and the goaltending combination of Eva Eberwein and Em Marlay-Wright kept the sheet clean in a 3-0 non-conference victory.

THE BASICS:

  • Date: Monday, October 9, 2023
  • Score: MCLA 3, Bryant & Stratton 0
  • Records: MCLA Trailblazers 3-6-2 (MASCAC 0-4-0) | Bryant & Stratton Bobcats 0-3-0 (Conference N/A)

HIGHLIGHTS

  • The Trailblazers opened the scoring early when Alyssa Porter scored her first goal of the season in the 5th minute of the game. After blocking an attempted clear by a Bobcats' defender, Porter quickly bounced on a scoring opportunity about 10 yards out on the right side of the goal and sent a line drive kick over the goalkeeper into the upper right corner of the goal.
  • The Bobcats' issues with clears continued when Gwendolyn Duggan made the Bobcats pay for a dangerous effort to clear the ball while inside their own penalty area in the 20th minute. Camryn Belisle dribbled into the center of the box and fired off a shot that a Bobcat defender blocked; the defender then attempted to boot the ball downfield but instead kicked the ball directly to Duggan, who out-battled a Bobcat fender for control of the ball. Duggan settled the ball and connected on a shot from just inside the box into the back of the net. The goal was the freshman's second of the season, following her strike against SUNY Cobleskill on September 12th.
  • For their third goal of the game, the Trailblazers relied upon teamwork and cooperation to score again in the 23rd minute. Tia Kareh brought the ball across midfield and made a forward pass to Cidnee Frymire, who made a quick touch pass to Eva Bassallo, who remained onsides just long enough to receive the pass and streaked towards the net to fire off a shot from about 8 yards out, burying the ball in the lower left corner, past a diving goalie.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS

  • The Trailblazers took 11 shots on goal in this game, the third time they have crossed the double-digit barrier. The first two times also came in wins over SUNY Cobleskill on September 12th (18 Shots on Goal on 32 shots) and Bay Path College on September 27th (33 SOG on 56 shots).

UP NEXT:

On Saturday, MCLA will be back in action when they play host to Salem State University for a MASCAC matchup with the Vikings at Shewcraft Field. The teams will take the pitch for a 1 p.m. kickoff. There will be pre-game festivities as the Trailblazers will honor their seniors on Senior Night.
