X-Women shutout Mounties 4-0

Sackville, NB – The U SPORTS No. 8 ranked STFX X-Women remain undefeated on the AUS season as they shutout the Mount Allison Mounties 4-0 Friday night.

League leading scorer Amanda Smith added to her goal tally with a pair of goals to give her nine on the season as she helped her X squad improve to 5-0. Smith also set up the other two goals.

STFX forward Lauren Reid opened the scoring in the game in the 25^th minute, depositing a header as she took advantage of a rebound after Smith hit the cross bar.

Smith then tallied late in the opening half in the 45^th minute after a Cheyenne Bower corner kick. Mounties keeper Lennon Rutledge got her hands on the ball but couldn't hold on and Smith got a couple touched on it and found the mesh.

The 2-0 halftime lead quickly turned into a three-goal advantage as Aiden Miller took a nice feed from a through ball by Smith just over a minute into the second half. She split the MtA defense and beat the keeper on a low shot.

Smith then rounded out the STFX scoring in the 66^th minute as she again scored off a corner kick, this time getting a one-touch off the ball and redirected it past Rutledge.

Christina Gentile took home the shutout victory in the X-Women net.

The blue and white will have the remainder of the weekend off and will be back in action on September 23^rd when they travel to Halifax to take on Dalhousie.
