The Lakeland College women's soccer team (3-8, 2-2 NAC) snagged its second victory in a row this week with a 7-0 shutout over Northern Athletics Conference opponent Rockford College on Sunday, Sept. 30, in Rockford, Ill.
Freshman forward/midfielder Alicia Malmstadt continued impressive efforts off the bench, knocking in two goals within roughly two minutes of each other to put the Muskies up, 6-0, late in the first half. She also recorded an assist on the Muskies' second goal of the game by sophomore forward Gina Weiss. Malmstadt also kept the Regent's goalkeeper and defensive line on their toes with five of the Muskies' 27 shot attempts for the game.
Junior forward Amy Christenson, freshman forward Maria Santelli and junior defender Maggie Short also helped earn the Muskies a comfortable lead with a goal apiece in the first half. Junior midfielder Megan Stock capped off the Muskies' scoring deluge for the game with a goal in the 86th minute on an assist by sophomore midfielder Jessica Hopfinger.
Senior Savannah Johnson and freshman Whitney England shared time between the posts to pick up the shutout, with England tallying two saves.
Lakeland will look to continue its recent tenacity on offense as it faces a tough NAC opponent, Edgewood College, at home on Tuesday, Oct. 2. Game time is set for 4 p.m.
