NORFOLK, Va. – Towson University women's soccer wrapped up a Virginia road trip with two Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) wins with a 3-1 victory over Hampton on Sunday.
After a scoreless first half, Towson put three goals past the keeper to secure the 3-1 win. With the win,
Sydney Lindeman becomes the Tiger with the most wins while on roster all-time.
"It was a poor first half for us and only generating three shots. We regrouped at halftime and came out better in the second half, creating 12 more shots. The first goal was excellent play from Sophie to Zuri to Meron in a beautiful triangle. Zuri really stepped up today and gave a great shift. The second goal was a great corner service from KP to the head of Emma. Emma timed it perfectly to put it in the back of the net. The third goal was also off a set piece from a corner from Rubio. Angel got a foot on it, Jayla headed it back to Sophie, and Sophie finished. It shows how important set pieces are — especially, if we aren't playing particularly well," Towson head coach
Katherine Vettori said.
