Wildcats Wallop Redhawks In Key ECC Contest

Amato nets a pair as Daemen stays in playoff hunt

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Ha, ha, ha. Stayin' alive, stayin' alive.

The Daemen University women's soccer team kept their postseason hopes alive thanks to a decisive 4-0 victory over host Roberts Wesleyan University in a key East Coast Conference matchup at Redhawks Field today. Three players accounted for the scoring as the Wildcats notched a season-high in goals. 

Daemen, which entered today in a four-way tie for fourth place in the ECC standings, improved to 3-9-2 overall while evening their conference mark at 3-3-0. The Wildcats are now 3-1-1 over their last five games, outscoring opponents 10-6 in that span. 

The Redhawks entered today's contest firmly in third place in the conference standings, but dropped their second straight ECC contest. RWU falls to 11-3 overall and 5-2 in ECC play. Their four goals allowed marked a season-high.
 

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Daemen got on the board in the 19th minute of the contest as freshman Kylie Miranto (North Tonawanda, N.Y.) netted her third goal of the season - all of which have come in the last two games. Miranto used her head to score, knocking in the corner kick feed of junior Madita Zeitz (Malsch, Germany). 
  • After more than 46 minutes without another scoring play, Daemen sophomore Alyssa Diaz (Rochester, N.Y.) gave the Wildcats a two goal advantage. She netted her second marker of the season - an unassisted tally in the 65th minute.
  • Moments later, in the 68th minute, Diaz found junior Brooke Amato (Grand Island, N.Y.) who launched a shot into the upper right corner of the net to put Daemen ahead 3-0.
  • Amato added her second goal of the game and her third of the season - a left-footed blast - in the 77th minute, putting an exclamation point on Daemen's offensive outburst.
  • Senior goalkeeper Tori DeLappi (Medina, Ohio) went the distance between the pipes. She made two saves while recording her third shutout of the season. 


GAME NOTES

  • Today's game marked the 26th all-time meeting between the Wildcats and Redhawks. Daemen improved to 10-12-4 in the series. The Wildcats have won two straight, both by 4-0 margins.
  • DeLappi's three shutouts this season match her career-high for a single season. She also had three shutouts in 2021 and now has seven shutouts in her career.
