Wheeler And Brainerd Secure Women's Soccer League Win, 2-0 Over Clarkson

Box Score

    POTSDAM, NY (October 19, 2013) – Junior Chloe Wheeler (Thousand Oaks, CA/Westlake) got her 11th career game-winning goal during Saturday's Liberty League women's soccer game at Clarkson University as the Brewers went on to win, 2-0.

    Wheeler dibbled down the left side of the pitch and floated a shot to the upper right corner of the Sierra Spring defended goal at 42:34. Wheeler's game-winner brings her within one of tying her own single season record of five and adds to her current career record at Vassar College. It was also her ninth goal of the year.

    Less than two minutes later, sophomore Lucy Brainerd (Littleton, CO/Heritage) got her third goal of the season when she floated her shot into the top right corner off a Wheeler pass from the midfield at 44:06.

    Spring's performance highlighted the Golden Knights' outing on Saturday, having stopped nine of Vassar's 11 shots on goal. Clarkson only had four shots with two on goal that were stopped by freshman goal keeper Stephanie Tapolsky (Louisville, KY/ Dupont Manual).

    Wheeler and sophomore Kamaria Coley (Washington, DC/Academy of the Holy Cross) led the Brewers with three shots on Saturday with all of them on goal.

    The Golden Knights out-fouled the Brewers 8-6 while Vassar held a distinctive, 4-0 advantage on corner kicks.

    The Brewers (6-6-2, 1-3-1 Liberty League) will next finish their four-game away streak in Wayne, NJ when they take on William Paterson University on Wednesday, October 23 at 5:00 pm. The Golden Knights (5-10-0, 1-5-0) will next travel to Geneva, NY to face Liberty League opponent, William Smith College at 3:00 pm.
