Second Half Surge Pushes Gators Past Tomcats

MEADVILLE, Pa. – The Allegheny women's soccer team scored three second half goals as they picked up a 3-0 win at home against Thiel Wednesday (Oct. 21).
 
Katherine Surdykowski (Chesterfield, N.J./Northern Burlington County Regional) had a goal and an assist in the game, moving her into the top-10 for career points in Gator history. 
 
The Gator offense kept up the pressure throughout the opening half. In the 45 minutes, the Gators outpaced the Tomcats 11-1 in shots. They had three shots hit off the post as the teams entered the half scoreless.
 
The persistence paid off as the Gators scored three second half goals. 
 
The first goal came in the 55th minute. A corner kick bounced around the box before Surdykowski corralled it. After dribbling around to create space, Surdykowski finessed a low shot through the defenders into the back of the net. 
 
Allegheny needed just three more minutes to find their next tally. Surdykowski knocked down a goal kick and sent it into the box. Delaney David (Cleveland, Ohio/Brooklyn) beat the Tomcats to the ball and put a quick touch on it to get it past the charging goalkeeper. 
 
David scored her second goal of the game in the 83rd minute. Madeline Schneider (Poolesville, Md./Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart) sent a pass towards the middle of the box. David took the pass and chipped it in for her second tally of the game.
 
The Gator defense limited the Tomcats to just the one shot as they collected the conference win.
