COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Senior Laura Miller
(Pennsburg, Pa./Quakertown) pitched her second shutout this season
and in the process collected the eighth shutout of her career as
she led the Eagles to a 1-0 victory over Pacific.The game was
played in a downpour from start to finish. Miller faced just five
shots, but Pacific put on plenty of pressure late. Miller received
all the offensive support she would need early in the first half
(16:47) when Melissa Snyder (Gaithersburg, Md./Quince Orchard)
collected a pass from Maureen Daniel (Clifton Park,
N.Y./Shenendehowa) and slammed it past Pacific goalie Gina Sadler.
Sadler finished with six saves in 60 minutes of action. Snyder was
especially active on the offensive end, taking five shots. Freshman
Camila Infante (Santiago, Chile/Santiago College) made her debut as
an Eagle, and not only played, but started. She had a pair of shots
on goal and caused plenty of problems for Pacific's defense. The
Eagles dominated the Tigers, outshooting them 17 to 5 and
collecting 11 penalty corners compared to just five for Pacific.
American is now 3-1-0 and will next play host to Rutgers on Sunday,
September 14 at 12:00 p.m. noon. Game Summary
Shots: American 17; Pacific 5
