The Golden Knights pulled out to an early 1-0 lead on the Felician Golden Eagles early during their Saturday afternoon match-up before scoring three quick goals in the second half of the contest, sealing a 4-0 victory at Sullivan Field at the Plumeri Sports Complex. The Golden Knights started off strong scoring a quick goal in the sixth minute of the first half; the goal was scored by Amanda Vasquez and was assisted by Carmelina Puopolo. The one goal was all Saint Rose was able to muster in the first half, but they came out shooting in the second and scored three goals. Kristen Carr, off the Joani Medero assist scored the Golden Knights first goal of the second half, soon followed by a goal by Jennifer Busk and assisted by Carmelina Puopolo. That wasn’t all for Puopolo though, she assisted on another goal scored in the 70th minute by none other than Amanda Vasquez. The four goals were enough for The Golden Knights to easily cruise to victory.
The Golden Knights held the Golden Eagles to zero shots on goal, while Saint Rose had eight shots on goal, four of them finding the net. By controlling the ball for more than 85% of play, Saint Rose controlled the tempo of the game for the entire two halves. Speed and great ball striking kept Felician out of the Golden Knights zone for the entire game, not allowing for the Eagles even a glimpse at goal.Â
The Golden Knights have another non-conference home match-up against the Robert Wesleyan College Redhawks this Tuesday. Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m.
