SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Wofford College women's soccer team scored a program-best 10 goals in a 10-0 victory over the University of Tennessee – Chattanooga on Friday evening at Snyder Field.
The win over the conference opponent set the single-game record for goals (10) and points (30) in a single game in the program's 21-season history. The highest goal total in a single game was previously nine, set in a 9-0 victory on September 22, 2002 against The Citadel.
The Terriers were dominant throughout, keeping the ball in the attacking third for the majority of the game. Wofford amassed 35 shots with 17 on goal. Wofford also created eight attempts from the corner. Wofford and Chattanooga each committed eleven fouls, but no players earned yellow cards in the outing.
Hannah Washko highlighted the match for the Terriers, finishing with five points on two goals and an assist. Washko scored twice in a six minute span, striking first in the 34th minute. The freshman received a pass in the box from Vicki Hill, heading the ball in the back of the net. Six minutes later, the midfielder volleyed the ball home via a corner-kick-service from freshman defender Rachel Fenner.
Mary Kathryn Macklen also notched two goals in the outing. The senior began in the 25th minute, blasting a goal into the top right corner from 24 yards out. Macklen struck again at the 53:03 mark, shooting from the top of the 18-yard box and placing the ball in the back left corner of the goal on a pass from senior forward Annika Jansson.
The Terriers were off to a quick start, scoring first at the 5:15 mark. A corner sent in from junior defender Katherine Whisenhunt found the head of Faith Lifer in the box. Lifer chipped the keeper with the header for her third goal of the season and the eventual game-winner.
Just a minute later, Brianna LaFontant would score for the Terriers. Lifer took a shot on goal that ricocheted to LaFontant's feet, allowing the redshirt freshman to blast home the second goal of the match. LaFontant's goal was then followed by Macklen's first and the pair from Washko.
In the 39th minute, junior midfielder Mary Beth Bleekrode entered the action, scoring her first goal of the season to put the Terriers up 6-0. Senior Shonte Campbell sent a corner kick into Hannah Washko in the box. Washko flicked the ball to Bleekrode, who blasted the goal in.
Freshman Katie Beuerline capped the first half scoring at 43:09, adding a goal of her own. A pass in from Alex Hoots on the left side of the field allowed the forward to set up in the box, striking the ball into the bottom left corner past Chattanooga keeper Hannah Dunn. The Terriers entered halftime up, 7-0.
Macklen's second goal opened up the second half scoring before Campbell scored her third career goal. Bleekrode played a through ball into Campbell in the box, who then slid to tap the ball past the diving keeper.
Freshman midfielder Josie Hanes would round out the Terriers' scoring for the evening. Hoots would assist once again, passing the ball to Hanes in the center of the box, who booted the ball into the wide open goal.
Senior keeper Kara Boggs stood in goal for the Terriers with two saves, earning her third shutout of the season.
