LYNDHURST, Ohio -- Notre Dame got back to their winning ways in league play, picking up an American Mideast Conference win over Carlow (Pa.) on Thursday night at Korb Field. (
Box)
Seven different Falcon players tallied points in what was a decisive 4-0 shutout of the Celtics, who lost for the seventh match in a row. The victory for Notre Dame (8-6, 5-3 AMC) comes on the heels of a conference loss to Mount Vernon Nazarene on Tuesday (Oct. 20), and it puts the Blue & White back in good standing in the race for one of six berths in the AMC's postseason tournament. Overall, NDC has won five of their last six matches.
#Lauren Acker#, #Anic McKay#, #Katie Christensen# and #Ashley Rucker# scored the four Falcon goals, as NDC put Carlow (4-10, 1-7) with three of those scores coming in the first half. The Blue & White dominated the pace of play throughout - they outshot the Celtics, 20-9, and allowed just two shots on goal.
#Emilie Lamarche# and #Brittany Cruz# split the match in goal for the Falcons, with each making one save.
The four goals at Korb Field Thursday night mark a single-match season-high for Notre Dame, which came into the match averaging just 1.21 goals per game.
NDC's next match will be on Saturday, Oct. 24, when the Falcons close out a busy week with a home match against Point Park (Pa.). That contest has had its kickoff bumped from its original start time to a 9 a.m. kickoff.
