Women's Soccer Ends Season With Lopsided Win vs. Thiel

GREENVILLE, Pa. -- The Allegheny College women's soccer team overwhelmed Thiel College in the final game of the 2023 season en route to a 5-0 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) victory on Tuesday night.

The Gators (6-10-1, 4-5-1 PAC) played a relentless and complete 90 minutes to ensure the Tomcats (1-14-1, 0-10-0 PAC) concluded the fall campaign without a conference win. The Allegheny defense didn't allow Thiel to shoot the ball until a deep free-kick made its way on target in the 80th minute, as possession in the Tomcats' attacking third was all but non-existent.

Five different players found the back of the net for Allegheny. Emma Miller (Elyria, Ohio/Lake Ridge Academy) netted the first goal in the sixth minute, as she collected a cross from Casey Bender (Allentown, Pa./Emmaus) inside the six-yard box and beat the goalie to the far post. Julieta Schworm (Newark, Ohio/Licking Valley) doubled the lead less than four minutes later after receiving a perfectly placed through ball down the left-wing side from Katherine Surdykowski (Chesterfield, N.J./Northern Burlington County Regional).

Allegheny wasn't content with its 2-0 halftime advantage, however. Hallie Johnson (Canandaigua, N.Y./Canandaigua Academy) hit the upper left corner in the 58th minute, and Taylor McKindley (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif./Santa Margarita Catholic) rocketed a shot from about 25 yards out in the 70th minute.

Less than a minute later, Emily Beck (Martinsburg, W.Va./Martinsburg) jump-started a counterattack by weaving through defenders at midfield and feeding a long through ball to Cara Wood (Columbus, Ohio/Bloom-Carroll) for the last goal of the evening.

Inside the Box Score
  • Allegheny ended the game with 25 shots, 11 shots on goal, and 10 corner kicks.
  • Thiel managed to take one shot and earned no corners.
  • The only thing that slowed Allegheny's offense was the referee's whistle, as the Gators were flagged offsides on six occasions.

  • Miller, Johnson, McKindley, and Wood each scored once for the Gators.
  • Bender and Surdykowski had one assist apiece.
