HOBOKEN, N.J. (September 4, 2006) – Freshman midfielder Kara Borzillo (Medford, N.J.) tallied her first two collegiate goals as the Stevens Institute of Technology field hockey team shut-out Philadelphia Biblical University, 2-0, in the final game of the Stevens Invitational on Monday in Hoboken, N.J. With the win, the Ducks improved to 2-0 on the season.
Following a scoreless first half, Borzillo netted her first goal of the game at the 38:10 mark off a pass from sophomore forward Jessica Megill (Clark, N.J.). Megill passed the ball from the top of the circle to Borzillo, who was set up in front of the goal.
Borzillo sealed the victory for the Ducks with less than 10 seconds remaining in the game as she took advantage of a scramble in front of the net. Borzillo was able to make contact with a shot that was sent past Crimson Eagle goalkeeper Katie Aungst (Ocean City, N.J.).
For the game, Stevens out-shot Philadelphia Biblical 23-7. Megill led the way with seven shots, while freshman forward Courtney Geddis (Jackson, N.J.) had six. The Ducks also had seven corners to just three by the Crimson Eagles.
Sophomore goalkeeper Stephanie Smith (Hockessin, Del.) made three key saves in the game to help preserve the win for the Ducks. Aungst made six stops for Philadelphia Biblical.
Stevens will return to action on Wednesday when it travels to Danbury, Conn., to face Western Connecticut State University at 4 p.m.
