MEADVILLE, Pa. -- Emma Miller (Elyria, Ohio/Lake Ridge Academy) set the Allegheny women's soccer program record with 11 points as the Gators celebrated Senior Day with an 11-0 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) victory against Thiel.

Miller finished the game with four goals and three assists, a total of 11 points. That total eclipsed the previous record of 10 points, set by Alexis Emrick in 1997.

Before the match, the Gators honored their four seniors: Emily Beck (Martinsburg, W.Va./Martinsburg), Taylor McKindley (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calf./Santa Margarita Catholic), Hallie Johnson (Canandaigua, N.Y./Canandaigua Academy) and Miller.

The Gators scored four goals in the opening half. Delaney David (Cleveland, Ohio/Brooklyn) picked up a long rebound, made a move around the defender, and lofted the ball to the back of the net in the 12th minute. 

Allegheny needed just a few minutes to score again. Passes from Kylie Upton (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) and Katherine Surdykowski (Chesterfield, N.J./Northern Burlington County Regional) made their way to Miller. Miller quickly got through a pair of defenders, scoring on a low shot. Miller scored for the second time in the 19th minute. This time, David found Miller with a touch-and-go pass, with Miller finishing with another low show. Miller's second goal was her 20th of the season.

The final goal of the half came in the final second. Aylish McNevan (Willoughby, Ohio/Andrews Osborne Academy) found David inside the box. After stepping around a defender, David launched a shot past the goalkeeper for her second goal of the contest.

In the second half, Allegheny added seven more tallies. Katherine Surdykowski (Chesterfield, N.J./Northern Burlington County Regional) headed in a corner kick by Miller in the 57th minute. Just a minute later, Surdykowski scored again. After a save on a Miller shot, Surdykowski followed up on the rebound for her second goal, increasing the lead to 6-0.

Miller completed her hat trick in the 65th minute. Fellow senior McKindley set Miller up, who finished the shot for her third hat trick of the season.

McKindley scored on a shot from 25-yards out in the 83rd minute, making it 8-0. Casey Bender (Allentown, Pa./Emmaus) got on the scoreboard in the 84th minute on a corner kick for the ninth goal.

Beck concluded the scoring, and senior day, with a goal in the 88th minute, assisted by Miller.
