Grove City tops Bison, 5-1
GROVE CITY, Pa. -- Senior midfielder Katie Klingensmith (Wexford, Pa./Pine-Richland) scored twice and assisted on three other goals Thursday afternoon as the Grove City College women's soccer team earned a 5-1 win over Bethany in a Presidents' Athletic Conference match at College Field.
Grove City (5-9-1, 5-3-1 PAC) jumped to out a 3-0 lead in the first half. Senior forward Stacey Brubaker (Houston, Pa./Chartiers-Houston) scored the first of her two goals at the 14:39 mark. Klingensmith supplied the assist.
Ten minutes later, Klingensmith scored on a rebound directly in front of the goal. Brubaker and fellow senior Kristin Hummel (Greensboro, Ala./Cherry Hill East, N.J.) assisted on the score. Grove City extended its lead to 3-0 at 39:56 as Klingensmith scored her second goal. Freshman midfielder Katie Wolff (Centerville, Ohio/Centerville) assisted Klingensmith.
An "own goal" by Grove City in the 44th minute cut the Wolverines' lead to 3-1 at the intermission. However, Grove City sealed the win with a pair of second-half goals. Brubaker scored her sixth goal of the season at 63:48 while junior midfielder Maia Siber (Canton, Ohio/Canton McKinley) tallied her fourth goal of 2005 at the 67:45 mark. Klingensmith assisted on both second-half goals.
Grove City out-shot the Bison, 34-16. Freshman goalkeeper Bethany Preston (Elma, N.Y./Iroquois) stopped 10 shots for the Wolverines.
The win moves Grove City into a third-place tie in the PAC with Washington and Jefferson at 5-3-1. The top four teams will qualify for the season-ending PAC Championship Tournament. Grove City will visit Thomas More (5-2-1 PAC) Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m.
