Bridgeport, CT (9/18/07) The University of
Bridgeport women's soccer team erupted for four second half goals
en route to a 6-1 home non-conference win over Dominican (NY)
College on Tuesday afternoon. The win is the Purple Knights
fourth in a row, and they are now 6-3-0 overall. Dominican
falls to 3-5-0 on the season.
Bridgeport began the second half with a slim 2-1 before freshman
Linda Velaj (Stamford, CT) scored a pair of goals
in the 57th and 74th minutes to break the game wide open. The
two goals are Velaj's fourth and fifth of the season.
Sophomores Chelsea Barbour (Clinton, CT) and
Melanie Fernandes (Southbury, CT) scored the
Purple Knights' final two second half goals.
Bridgeport got in the board first when sophomore Sofia
Hoflin (Ostersund, Sweden) scored her team-leading seventh
goal of the season in the third minute off the first of two assists
in the game from classmate Emma Wooley (Sheffield,
England).
The Lady Charger tied the game at 1-1 when Marie LaMaida
(New Hyde Park, NY) scored in the 29th minute, but UB
freshman Danielle Deschene (Salisbury, MA) scored
with 36:08 gone in the match to give her team the lead which they
never relinquish. Deschene now has three goals on the
year.
Bridgeport returns to action on Saturday, when they host C.W. Post
in a key East Coast Conference match. Dominican is back on
the field this Thursday at Nyack.
