Box Score Buffalo, NY: September 27th, 2014 – The D'Youville Women's Soccer Team christened the newly dedicated D'Youville Athletic Complex on Saturday by defeating conference opponent Mt. Aloysius 2-0.
Sophomore Emily Carias (Eden, NY/Eden) opened up the scoring by beating the Mt. Aloysius keeper on a breakaway. Carias made no mistake by burying the ball into the back of the net, scoring the lone goal of the first half. The goal was Carias' third goal in the last 2 games.
Junior Melissa LaVere (Clarence, NY/Williamsville East) added some insurance by picking up the second goal of the game for the Spartans with 16 minutes left in the game. By each netting a goal on Saturday afternoon, Carias and LaVere pulled even with sophomore Terra Juda (North Tonawanda, NY/Niagara-Wheatfield) for the goal lead on the team with 3 apiece.
On defense, the veteran leaders junior Amanda Drake (West Winfield, NY/Mount Markham) and Mallory Hojnacki (Hamburg, NY/Hamburg) helped shut down the Mt. Aloysius attack to earn the shutout. Freshman Jenna Tomizzi (Buffalo, NY/Sacred Heart) also contributed in a big way to help the Spartan defense. Junior goalie Catie Giebner (Sicklerville, NJ/Winslow Township) turned away all 4 shots that she faced.
As a team, D'Youville had 15 shots on goal, providing constant pressure to the Mt. Aloysius goalkeeper and Mountee defense.
