No. 20 women's soccer earns 4-2 win over Bard

Box Score

ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. – Union College freshman Mollie Gilchrist (Johnsonville, NY) continued her torrid scoring this season with a goal and an assist on Saturday as the 20th-ranked Dutchwomen held off Bard, 4-2, in a Liberty League game.
 
Union junior Jennifer Mansfield (Hopewell Junction, NY) also scored twice as Union improved to 12-1 overall, 2-1 in the Liberty League.
 
Mansfield opened the scoring in the 15th minute, booting a waist-high pass from sophomore Laura Snowden (Schenectady, NY) past Bard goalie Jenn Osher (Stamford, CT) from close range. The Dutchwomen made it 2-0 when junior Giovanna Velardo (Stormville, NY) made a long run down the right wing and struck a beautiful cross to the far post. Gilchrist leapt and headed the ball past Osher in the 17th minute.
 
Just a few minutes before halftime, Bard was granted a penalty kick after an inadvertent hand ball in the Union box, and freshman Megan Snyder (York, PA) banged the shot in off the post to make it 2-1, and it stayed that way until halftime.
 
In the 62nd minute, Gilchrist made an aggressive run down the left wing and crossed the ball into the box, where Mansfield scored an acrobatic goal, kicking the ball out of the air just before a Bard defender collided with her, and it was 3-1.
 
Bard (3-8, 0-3 Liberty) responded with a booming goal off a direct kick from senior Kim Larie (Londonderry, NH). Larie struck a hard, high shot from about 38 yards out, and it hit the bottom of the crossbar and went in to make it 3-2 in the 69th minute.
 
The Raptors had one good chance to tie the game after that point, when junior Cosie Andujar (San Clemente, CA) struck a low, hard shot that was stopped by a diving Kayla Marti (Newburgh, NY), who took over as keeper in the second half. Mia Simone (Rexford, NY) played the first half.
 
Gilchrist put the game away in the 81st minute, taking a great through ball from Snowden down the left wing. She beat keeper Amy Strawbridge (Indianapolis, IN) from a tough angle to make it 4-2.
 
Next up for Union is St. Lawrence University, at home Friday at 4 p.m.
