Miller Nears Program Records With Incredible Effort vs. Fredonia State

FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Emma Miller (Elyria, Ohio). That's it; that's the headline.

Miller, Allegheny College women's soccer's star senior, put together one of the greatest performances in program history on Saturday, leading the Gators (2-4-0) to a 5-3 victory over Fredonia State (4-2-0). She played a role in all five Gator goals, scoring four and adding one assist for nine points.

As a result, Allegheny halted Fredonia's four-game win streak.

In a feat not matched in more than two decades, Miller became only the fourth Gator to score at least four times in a game while finishing one goal shy of the record. No Allegheny women's soccer player has finished with four or more goals since September 20, 1997, when Alexis Emrick '99 scored five against Grove City College. Miller's nine points are tied for the second-most in a game in team history, equaling Allegheny Hall of Famer Denise Petrossi Saldaña '90, who logged nine points against Oberlin College on October 15, 1986.

It took a little over four minutes before Miller scored her first goal, and she completed her hat trick by the 47th minute. She also earned an assist on Allegheny's fourth tally netted by first-year midfielder Madeline Schneider (Poolesville, Md./Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart) in the 65th minute.

Inside the Box Score
  • Allegheny finished with 29 shots and 16 shots on goal.
  • Fredonia took 24 shots, including 13 on goal.
  • The Blue Devils held a slight advantage in corners, 6-to-4.
  • Miller led all scorers with four goals and one assist for nine points.
  • Schneider scored once, and Delaney David (Cleveland, Ohio/Brooklyn) added a game-high two assists.
  • Casey Bender (Allentown, Pa./Emmaus) also handed out one assist.
  • Keeper Madison Lemanski (Bear, Del./Delaware Military Academy) made nine saves while allowing three Fredonia State goals in 90 minutes of action.
  • Three different players found the back of the net for the Blue Devils.

News and Notes
  • Allegheny is 7-3-0 in its last 10 meetings with Fredonia State.
  • Five goals and four assists are both season-highs for the Gator offense.
  • Miller's career day gives her 16 points (7g-2a) in just six games played thus far in 2024.
  • Miller is only the third Gator to collect nine-plus points in a game, joining Emrick and Petrossi Saldaña.
  • Miller tied Hall of Famers Nellie Springer Kraus '89 and Georganne Morin '89 with the second-most goals in a game with four.

The Gators will host Hiram College at the Robertson Athletic Complex on Tuesday, September 17, at 7:00 p.m.
