Women’s Soccer Falls at Mount St. Mary’s Wednesday

Kai Douglas and Cassidy Nichols tallied two goals apiece to pace Mount St. Mary's in a 7-2 victory over Canisius in Metro Conference women's soccer action Wednesday at Waldron Family Stadium in Emmittsburg, Md.
 
Fineen Cregan tallied a goal and three assists while Erin Antone chipped in a goal and an assist for the Mount (3-12-2, 3-8-1 Metro). Abigail Makela recorded nine saves between the pipes for the home team.
 
Senior Elizabeth Cavanaugh and sophomore Emilia Nuttall scored the two goals for the Golden Griffins (7-9-1, 4-7-1 Metro). Junior Ally Smith got the start in goal for Canisius, finishing with five saves.
 
Mount St. Mary's scored three goals in a nearly 12-minute span midway through the first half to grab a commanding lead.
 
Douglas ignited the Mount's first-half salvo with a penalty kick goal in the 18th minute before Mount's St. Mary's added to its advantage less than 10 minutes later with a pair of goals just 2:15 apart.
 
Antone doubled the Mount advantage in the 28th minute, using a feed from Hannah Geiser to get behind the Canisius defense before slotting the ball into the lower left-hand corner of the net to make it a 2-0 game.
 
Nichols stretched the Mount St. Mary's lead to 3-0 moments after Antone's marker when she blasted a shot from outside the box and beat a diving Smith to right side.
 
Cavanaugh got the Griffs on the board in the 40th minute when she put home a feed from sophomore Emilia Nuttall from the middle of the box to make it a 3-1 contest. Senior Maggie Cregan was also credited with an assist on the play.
Nuttall made it a one-goal game in the 51st minute with her third goal in as many contests as she headed home a direct kick off the foot of junior Ava Pickard from the middle of the box to make it a 3-2 contest.
Nichols added her second goal of the contest in the 78th minute to provide some breathing room before the Mount put the game out of reach with three goals over the final four minutes of regulation to determine the five-goal margin of victory.
