Eyler Ties School Career Goals Record, Mustangs Down Neumann, 7-0

Box Score

OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Stevenson women's soccer senior Stephanie Eyler (Thurmont/Catoctin) scored three goals, tying the school record for a career with her 63rd as the Mustangs posted a 7-0 victory over Neumann in the first round of the ECAC Division III South Championship Wednesday at Mustang Stadium.

Stevenson (13-5-3) improved its record to 7-3-2 at home and evened its record to 2-2 in three ECAC South appearances. With 13 wins this season, the team is two shy of the school record set in 2007 and 2009.

The second-seeded Mustangs advance to the semifinals for the second time where they will face the winner between third-seeded Swarthmore and sixth-seeded Albright on Saturday at Frostburg State's Bobcat Stadium.

The top-seeded Bobcats will host this weekend's semifinals and championship following their 4-1 win over eighth-seeded Grove City Wednesday.

For Eyler, tonight marked her second hat-trick of the season and the fifth of her career as she tied Stevenson's all-time goals record set by Jen Monaldi from 1995-98. Earlier today, Eyler received her fourth consecutive All-CAC First Team selection after breaking the CAC's career goals record with three goals against Hood on October 1.

The Mustangs took control of the game early as sophomore Amanda Marston (Baltimore/Institute of Notre Dame) scored the game-winner just 1:16 into the contest off an assist from sophomore Jamie Matlock (Bridgeton, N.J./Cumberland).

Matlock, who finished the game with a career-high four points with one goal and two assists, then found Eyler for her first goal of the game in the 11th minute.

Stevenson took a 3-0 halftime lead following the sixth goal of the season from freshman Meaghan Williams (Dundalk/Dundalk) with just 1:58 remaining before the half off a an assist from sophomore Catherine Madden (Bethesda/Walter Johnson).

The goal was the first of four for the Mustangs in a span of 8:59 as they opened the second half with tallies from Matlock at 48:15 and Eyler at 52:01.

Eyler tied the record in the 83rd minute when she scored unassisted on her own rebound to give Stevenson a 7-0 advantage.

With her three goals, Eyler now has 140 career points, just two shy of Monaldi's record.

The Mustangs capped the scoring with just 28 seconds remaining in the game when 2009 CAC Rookie of the Year, sophomore Melinda Kane (Baltimore/Mercy) netted her first goal since Oct. 24, 2009 in a 3-2 overtime win versus Mary Washington at home.

Kane has been rehabbing a knee injury that caused her to miss the 2010 season. Wednesday was just her ninth appearance of the season after she earned the conference's top newcomer honor in 2009, finishing second on the team behind Eyler with nine goals, five assists and 23 points.

Senior Brittany Ross (Millersville/Severna Park) stopped the only shot she faced while earning her 10th shutout of the season and 13th victory.

Briana King had 11 saves for the Knights (12-7-1) who set a school record for wins in a season this year with 12.
