Raiders Earn Dominant 3-0 Road Win at American

Wiley, Crichlow and Doll Score as Colgate Runs Unbeaten Streak to Six-Straight

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A strong team effort lifted the Colgate women's soccer team to a big 3-0 road win at American Sunday afternoon in Patriot League play.
 
The victory runs the Raiders' unbeaten streak to six-straight games as the Colgate defense secured its fourth shutout of the season. Sophomore Lindsey Wiley got Colgate on the board in the 25th minute before seniors Emily Crichlow and Eliza Doll added insurance goals.
 
The teams traded shots in the opening minutes before Wiley scored what would prove to be the game winner. Sophomore Mara Cosentino sent a through ball to Wiley behind the American backline and Wiley finished it to put the Raiders up 1-0 in the 25th minute.
 
The Colgate defense then limited American to just one shot, which wasn't on frame, for the remainder of the half to keep the Raider lead at 1-0 heading into halftime.
 
Crichlow added an insurance tally in the 52nd minute when she deflected a shot off an Eagle defender just inside the box to move Colgate's lead to 2-0.
 
The Raiders controlled possession for the majority of the second term before an American foul in the box led to a Colgate penalty kick in the 83rd minute. Doll stepped up and buried the kick to give the Raiders the 3-0 lead they wouldn't relinquish.

FROM THE SOURCE
Head Coach Kathy Brawn
  • "Facing an American side that was much better than their record might indicate, we were determined to control the game from the opening whistle. Lindsey Wiley continues to be a spark off the bench, so it was fitting that she scored what turned out to be the game winner. It was a great team effort today. Essential too, we the efforts of our three senior captains – Eliza Doll, Keely Lockwood and Emily Crichlow."
