(Ithaca, NY \u2013 Sept. 8, 2013) Colgate earned an impressive 3-0 victory over nearby rival Cornell in a women’s soccer contest here\u00a0Sunday\u00a0afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Raiders move to 4-1 on the season thanks to goals by\u00a0Emily Manoogian,\u00a0Caroline Brawner and\u00a0Lexi Panepinto. Both Manoogian and Panepinto notched their first of the season.<\/p>\n

“It was great that we had three different players score three different types of goals today,” Colgate head coach\u00a0Kathy Brawn\u00a0said. “There are still some things we need to do in some other parts of the field and in the game, however, that fortunately didn’t cost us today. We will have to do a better job managing that in the games moving forward.<\/p>\n

“Cornell battled the whole 90 minutes and we were lucky to catch them in their second game of the year, instead of later on down the road. They are much improved from past years, so kudos to them for hanging tough.”<\/p>\n

Following a slow start for Colgate, the Big Red had their best scoring chance in the 10th minute. Cornell earned a corner kick after\u00a0Chelsea Roche\u00a0blocked a Dempsey Banks’ shot. Rachel Nichols took the kick, finding the head of Claire MacManus, who redirected it on net inside the 18-yard box. Colgate goalie\u00a0Erin Cummings\u00a0made a brilliant save on the play, getting a hand on the ball and pushing it off the crossbar and back into play. The Raiders were able to clear the ball before the Big Red could do any damage.<\/p>\n

Five minutes later the Raiders notched the game’s first goal after\u00a0Catherine Williams\u00a0sent a perfect ball to the head of Manoogian, where she finished it for the 1-0 advantage.\u00a0Taryn Tomczyk\u00a0started the play by finding the foot of Williams on the left side of the field. Williams shook her defender and crossed the ball to a waiting Manoogian on the far post. Manoogian redirected the ball back across the face of the goal to the opposite top left-hand corner of the goal.<\/p>\n

The Raiders extended their lead to 2-0 following Brawner’s second goal of the season.\u00a0Jenna Panepinto\u00a0played a simple ball over to Brawner, who beat her defender and tried her luck on goal from 20 yards out. Her riffled shot sailed into the top right corner of the net.<\/p>\n

Less than two minutes later, Colgate found the back of the net again thanks to a\u00a0Lexi Panepinto\u00a0strike to the upper 90. Brawner added an assist on her day when she crossed the ball over to Panepinto, who saw an opening and fired a hard shot to the corner of the goal.<\/p>\n

In the closing minutes before half, Roche came up big yet again for the Raiders when she tallied her second defensive block of the game. Cornell’s Caroline Growney earned a breakaway opportunity on the left side of the field. Roche, who came from behind, threw her body in front of the driven shot, blocking it out of play.<\/p>\n

Throughout much of the second half, Colgate held the ball possession, allowing the Raiders to find open shots.<\/p>\n

Jenna Panepinto\u00a0played the ball over the Big Red back four to a running\u00a0Sarah Coy. The rookie took one touch before shooting near post, where Cornell’s goalie came up with a big save.<\/p>\n

Late in the game,\u00a0Sidney Parodie\u00a0sent a pass over to\u00a0Sophie Lederer, who quickly played the ball to\u00a0Morgan Davis. The newbie managed to get a shot off in traffic but again, Cornell’s goalie was there to make the save.<\/p>\n

Colgate finished the game not conceding any goals, giving Cummings her second shutout of the year.<\/p>\n

“Erin’s really stepped up and has been fantastic for us,” Brawn said. “We really challenged her to have more of a presence in the goal. She has definitely shown that every time she’s stepped on the field, not just in the games but in practice as well. It’s given her and her teammate more confidence.<\/p>\n

“We will get ready now for our big weekend against Marquette and DePaul and keep building on the good things we are doing.”<\/p>\n

The Raiders are back on the pitch\u00a0Friday\u00a0when they travel to reigning Big East champions Marquette in a contest that starts at\u00a07 p.m.\u00a0Central time.<\/p>\n

NOTES:\u00a0This was Colgate’s first shutout of Cornell since the 2011 season … This is the Raiders’ first 4-1 start since 2006 \u2026 Raiders hold the series advantage over Cornell, 17-15-3 \u2026 Brawner earned her third career three-point game … Colgate has shut out its opponent in four of five games this season, and Cummings has allowed only one goal in that stretch.<\/p>\n
