Vixens Still on the Hunt in ODAC Road Tour

Box Score

GREENSBORO, N.C. --- First-year forward Hanna Schiltz (Ashland, Mo.) knocked in two goals to lead Guilford College past Sweet Briar College in Old Dominion Athletic Conference women's soccer action on Saturday. 

 

The Vixens, who have not played a game at Babcock Field in two weeks, traveled to Greensboro in search of their first ODAC win.  The Quakers, who are coming off back-to-back over-time ties against conference opponents, also had designs on a first conference win. By the day's end, five different Quakers would score en route to a 6-0 victory over the Vixens

 

Katie Oliver ('12/Crofton, Md.) helped put Guilford on the board first when she chipped a ball into the Vixen 18-yard box that led to Schiltz's first tally of the day at the 13:53 mark.  Just under 30 minutes into the half, Schlitz found the back of the net again after taking on and beating Vixen goalkeeper Lindsey Wilson ('14/Bedford, Va.).  Ten minutes before halftime, Jaclyn Nucci ('13/Gambrills, Md.) netted her second goal of the season, giving the Quakers a three-goal advantage.  Minutes away from half time, senior Vixen defender Seanne Weekes (San Jose, Calif.) was whistled for a yellow card.  The free kick led to a Quaker shot and Vixen save to end the period.

 

In the second frame scoring started with Oliver, who this time helped herself to a goal, beating the keeper for the unassisted score.  First-year Quaker Carma Whitlock-Almond (Bessemer, N.C.) came off the bench in the second half and collected two assists on finishes by Sarah Levitt ('13/Silver Spring, Md.) and Rachel Harman ('12/Severn, Md.) in the 77th and 80th minutes, respectively.

 
Wilson put in another solid effort between the pipes for the Vixens as she made 11 stops in goal.  Weekes took the lone shot for SBC when she put a free-kick on goal in the 80th minute of the game.

 

"We did not come out sharp for today's game," acknowledged Vixen head soccer coach Kevin Fabulich.  "We will take our day off, get our legs back, re-group and be ready for our next game at Bridgewater."

 

With the loss at Guilford, the SBC record falls to 1-5 overall and 0-3 in conference play.  After an early week match at Bridgewater, the Vixens return to Babcock Field when they host the Washington and Lee Generals on Saturday, October 1 at 12p.m.
