POUGHKEEPSIE, NY (September 29, 2012) – Led by a career best six point game from junior midfielder Tina Caso, the Vassar College field hockey team put together its most dominant performance of the season in defeating Morrisville State, 9-0, on Saturday afternoon at Weinberg Field.

The victory, which saw Caso score two goals and assist on two others, snapped Vassar's three game losing skid. Seven different players scored goals for the Brewers, who tallied 27 shots in the game. The Mustangs were limited to only four shots, of which one was saved by a Vassar goalie.

The Brewers, dominant throughout, were particularly aggressive in the first half, earning 20 of their 27 shots. Caso assisted on the game's first goal by sophomore midfielder Dara Davis just 52 seconds into the contest and earned her first goal of the game at 12:43 when Davis fed her on the left side of the Morrisville goal.

Vassar, which swarmed the Morrisville crease the entire game, went into intermission with a 5-0 lead on goals by senior midfielder Rebecca Smith, freshman forward Bianca Zarrella and freshman forward Margot Mayer, her first of the year.

Caso scored the first goal of the second half at the 42nd minute of play and within a ten minute span, junior midfielder Janet Kanzawa and fellow junior midfielder Cameron Felt increased Vassar's lead to 8-0. Freshman midfielder Haley Merritt rounded out the scoring with her first intercollegiate goal with six minutes to play. Smith had two assists in the game.

Vassar junior goalie Maggie Brelis earned the victory, with freshman Amreen Bhasin also seeing action. Morrisville freshman goalie Ellen DePasquale made seven saves in the loss.
