Box Score

CHESTERTOWN, Md. – Sophomore Mele Johnson and freshman Katie Dougherty each found the back of the net for the fourth time this season as the Swarthmore College women's soccer team earned a 2-0 road victory over Washington College on Tuesday, Sept. 23 at the Lower Bermuda Grass Field.
 
Swarthmore dominated in every facet of the match during the first half, outshooting the Shorewomen by a count of 15-1 and lighting up the scoreboard twice. Johnson netted her fourth goal of the season, surpassing her total from last year, by finishing a pass from junior Melissa Trofa just 6:37 into the contest.
 
Shortly before the break, Dougherty doubled the Garnet advantage on a header off a corner kick in the 38th minute. Senior Rehana Omardeen headed classmate Emma Sindelar's cross over to freshman Sarah Hancock, who chipped the ball over to Dougherty for insurance. Omardeen and Hancock were both credited with assists on the play.
 
Junior Reba Magier picked up her second straight shutout victory without having to make a save for Swarthmore, which held a commanding 33-2 advantage in total shots. Magier's back line being led by junior Amanda Bosworth, senior Elyse Tierney, sophomore Katherine Zavez, junior Emily Telford-Marx and senior Ellen Bachmannhuff has only allowed one shot on target through two Centennial Conference matches. Melissa Barry of Washington College (2-4-1, CC 0-2) suffered the setback despite redirecting 14 Garnet shots.
 
Swarthmore (6-1, CC 2-0) will look to remain unbeaten in conference play when it visits Dickinson on Saturday, Sept. 27 at 1 p.m.
