Box Score WASHINGTON, D.C. - Two second half goals led
the Gallaudet University women's soccer team to its second
consecutive shutout as the Bison defeated Christendom College, 2-0,
before a crowd of 125 at Hotchkiss Field on Wednesday night.
The win increases Gallaudet's unbeaten streak to three straight
games after the Bison (2-2-1) began the season with two losses. The
unbeaten streak is believed to be a school record. The women's
soccer program began in 1995 and the school record for wins in a
season is seven, which has happened twice (2002, '06).
In the second half, a light rain fell from the sky but that
didn't slow down the Gallaudet offensive attack as the Bison took
seven shots in the final 45 minutes of play. Two of the seven shots
found the back of the net. The first goal came off the foot of
freshman Johanna Arrigo (Ewing, N.J.) who floated
the ball over the head of Christendom goalie Taylor Anderson (five
saves) for the goal. Arrigo was assisted on the play by senior
forward Samantha Bulewich (West Springfield,
Mass.) at the 71st minute.
As the light rain began to let up the Bison offense poured it on
as GU pelted the Crusader (1-3) goal with shots. Freshman
midfielder Maddie Morgan (Wilmington, Del.)
blasted home her second goal of the year on a nice cross from
Bulewich, her second assist in the game, at the 84th minute to put
the game away.
Gallaudet freshman goalie Kara Gulvas (Crown
Point, Ind.) kept the Bison in the game in the first half as she
made four saves. Gulvas, the reigning Capital Athletic Conference
Co-Player of the Week, ended the game with her second victory and
five saves.
The Bison outshot Christendom 11-9 and took one more corner kick
then the Crusaders, 5-4.
Gallaudet will look to extend its unbeaten streak to four on
Friday night against Averett University at 7 p.m. at Hotchkiss
Field.
