BOX SCORE


Philadelphia, Pa. - The Holy Family University women's soccer team scored a season-high six goals as the Tigers defeated Concordia College by the score of 6-0 in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) contest Saturday afternoon at Tiger Field.
 
Holy Family improves to 2-2-0 overall and 2-0-0 in the CACC, while Concordia starts its season with a 0-1-0 mark.  The win marked Holy Family's second straight shutout victory against a CACC opponent as the Tigers outscored their competition 11-0 in the two games. 
 
Holy Family scored five first half goals to take a commanding lead in the game.  Freshman Ursula Coyle (Philadelphia, Pa./Little Flower) jump started the scoring in the 11th minute.  After a corner kick attempt by junior MaryKate Morris (Philadelphia, Pa./Saint Hubert's), Coyle headed the corner kick into the back of the net for her second score of the season. 
 
The Tigers doubled their lead in the 27th minute when junior Kimber Kisselback (Langhorne, Pa./Neshaminy) drove home a rebounded ball from about 20-yards out to make the score 2-0.  Kisselback's goal was the first of three goals scored over a three-minute span. 
 
Freshman Ashley Shackleford (Burlington, N.J./Holy Cross HS) followed with her second goal of the season in the 28th minute after receiving a past from Coyle at the top of the box.  Shackleford beat Concordia goalkeeper, sophomore Jennifer Forlini, one-on-one for the score. 
 
In the 30th minute sophomore Lisa Abramski (Lindenhurst, N.Y./Kellenberg Memorial) came through with her second goal of the season as she launched a shot from the right corner into the lower left portion of the net to give the Tigers a 4-0 advantage. 
 
Holy Family tacked on one more score in the final minute of the first half when sophomore Nicole Wright (Cinnaminson, N.J./Cinnaminson) scored her first career goal after receiving a pass from Morris.  Wright's goal gave the Tigers a 5-0 lead entering halftime.  Morris finished the game with two assists. 
 
Holy Family controlled the half as the Tigers outshot Concordia 19-0 and held a 7-0 margin on corner kicks.  The Tigers finished the game with 25 shots and 11 corner kicks. 
 
Concordia finished with two shots on the afternoon both coming from senior Bridgitte McCalla in the second half.
