Box Score WALTHAM, Mass. – Brandeis University senior forward
Tiffany
Pacheco (Rehoboth, Mass./Dighton-Rehoboth Regional)
matched her career-highs with three assists and five points, while
junior forward Mimi Theodore
(Walpole, Mass./Walpole) scored the game's first two goals as the
Judges defeated visiting Roger Williams University, 6-0, on Gordon
Field tonight.
Brandeis (4-1-1) opened the scoring in the eighth minute as
Pacheco and Theodore combined for what proved to be the
game-winner. Pacheco bent a corner kick into the box that Theodore
headed home for her second goal of the season. Theodore registered
her third-career multiple-goal game less than three minutes later.
Senior midfielder Ellie Einhorn
(Winter Park, Fla./Trinity Park) sent a ball over the defense that
Theodore ran down and put in the back of the net. The Judges added
a third goal just under three minutes before the half when rookie
Madeline
Stein (Mount Kisco, N.Y./Fox Lane) took a feed from
classmate Hilary
Andrews (New Bedford, Mass./ Dartmouth) just outside
the box and lofted it over the outstretched arms of Roger Williams
(2-3) netminder Kelsey McGee (Kings Park, N.Y./Kings Park).
Pacheco added her third goal of the season 5:24 into the second
half when she broke down a Hawk defender and beat sophomore Kristen
Darling (Weymouth, Mass./ Weymouth) just under the crossbar. In the
63rd minute, junior Alanna Torre
(Weston, Fla./American Heritage School) got in the scoring act.
Senior forward Sofia Vallone
(Westport, Conn.) sent a terrific through-ball that Pacheco ran
down and sent across the goal-mouth, where Torre tapped it home for
her first of the season. The Judges closed out the scoring less
than three minutes later, when Vallone scored her team-leading
fourth goal of the season on a nice cross from Pacheco.
With her three helpers this afternoon, Pacheco moves into a tie
for second place on the Judges' career list with 23, five behind
former teammate Melissa Gorenkoff '09. Pacheco
also vaulted into eighth on Brandeis's career points list with 71,
moving her one point behind Gorenkoff and putting her well within
reach of the top five. Pacheco's 24 goals are 10th in
school history.
Sophomore goalie Francine
Kofinas (Dix Hills, N.Y./Half Hollow Hills West) had
four saves in the first half, including a couple of athletic diving
stops, while rookie Leah Sax
(Lincoln, Mass./Lincoln-Sudbury Regional) had two saves in the
second. McGee finished with three saves for the Hawks, while
Darling had one.
Brandeis is off for a week, as the Judges next host Gordon
College on Sept. 23 at 4 p.m. RWU also plays Gordon in their next
