CHARLOTTE, N.C.- The Queens women's soccer team spread the wealth tonight against Coker with seven different players scoring goals in the 10-0 conference win at the Queens Sports Complex at Marion Diehl Park.
The Royals (3-8-1/2-2-1) started the scoring early, 1:06 in, when Katherine Johnson (Chapel Hill, N.C., Northwood ) put a ball in front of the goal and it was miscleared by the Coker (0-9/0-5) defense.
Queens added two in just over 10 minutes to take a 3-0 lead. Amanda Wright (Salisbury, Md., Parkside ) and Lauren Vawter (Mooresville, N.C., Lake Norman ) each picked up her second.
Kristen Wright (Salisbury, Md., Parkside) notched her 10th and 11th goals of the season before the end of the half. Queens held a 5-0 lead after the first 45.
Coker's goalie Carrie Hudnell had a great save midway through the half to deny K. Wright a great goal.
The second half was much of the same. The Royals offense continued to dominate play. Queens' Katherine Carr (Upper Marlboro, Md. , St. Mary's ), K. Wright, and Megan Sload (Conestoga, Pa., Penn Manor) all added goals in the second stanza.
Rose Balderson (Trappe, Md., Saints Peter and Paul ) scored a pair of goals in three minutes apart. Both were outside of the 18-yard box and just out of reach of Hudnell to finish the game
The Royals will need the momentum from this win to face the No. 1 team in the Southeast region, Columbus State, on Sunday at noon.
