ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, NY (September 17, 2008) – After an evenly played first half, the Vassar women's soccer team caught fire, unleashing five second-half goals en route to a 6-0 victory over Bard College on Wednesday. Six different Brewers scored in the victory.

The two teams played each other evenly in the first half, as both the Raptors and the Brewers entered halftime with five shots apiece. Vassar held the edge however, thanks to an early goal in the eighth minute by sophomore Sarah Strange (Cypress, TX/Second Baptist School). Allison McManis (Oakland, CA/Bishop O'Dowd) picked up the assist on the play.

The second half, however, was a completely different story, as the Brewers outshot the Raptors 14-1 and netted five goals, all unassisted. Notching goals in the second half were McManis, Emma Kemp (Albany, CA/Albany), Caroline Jaquiss (Little Rock, AR/Pulaski Academy), Nola Solomon (Washington, DC/Georgetown Day), and Anna Robinson (Toronto, ON/Havergal College). It was the first collegiate goal for freshman Jaquiss.
