LOUDONVILLE, NY –
Catherine Rogers scored her 10
th goal of the season and added an assist to propel Siena Women's Soccer to its 10
th victory with a 2-0 triumph over Mount St. Mary's on Hickey Field.
Rogers opened the scoring just over five minutes in, finishing a
Briana Neary rebound to become the first Siena (10-3-1, 6-2) player in 13 years to eclipse double digit goals scored since Brittany Pfaff tallied 14 in 2013. The strike also proved to be the fifth match-winner this season for Rogers, just one shy of the program single-season record.
The Saints did their damage early as
Anna Swyers finished a feed from Rogers in the 17
th minute to become the second Saint in as many matches to score a birthday goal.
Siena registered a season-high in holding a 23-13 advantage in shots while also harboring an 8-1 margin in corners.
Junior
Cate Burns made six saves, in the process surpassing another major milestone with her 200
th career save.
Anna Wall stopped eight shots for Mount St. Mary's (2-10-2, 2-6-1) which has dropped five straight, albeit each by just one or two goals.
Following a pair of separate three-match win streaks earlier this season, the surging Saints have now won a season-high four straight.
With still four regular season contests remaining, the victory secured Siena its second double-digit win total in three years, and the 12
th overall under head coach
Steve Karbowski.
The Saints return to action Wednesday night at Merrimack for a 7 p.m. kickoff in North Andover, Massachusetts.
