Senior Captain goalkeeper Karen Blocker posted her 7th straight shutout of the season and her career 47th with a 4-0 win over Mr. DeSales. Blocker has been aided and abetted by her stingy defense mates Kirsten Frank, Avery Newman, Olivia Tomoff, Chloe Constants, Laura Simpson, Dani Beard and goalie partners Kelly Grace and Jocelyn McCoy. So far this season the defense team is limiting the opposition to 4.4 shots per game. Sophomore Courtney Hoyes opened the scoring in the 12th minute with an assist from Senior Captain Chelsea Allen. Spalding exploded for 3 more goals in 6 minutes of the second half. The first goal of the second half came in the 44th minute from a right corner kick from Allen to Senior Captain Christine Nairn who slammed the pass into the left side of the goal. The second goal came 3 minutes later on a goal from Allen assisted by Hoyes and the third came 3 minutes later from Junior Caitlin Aversa with the assist going to Hoyes.
