Carter ties school mark as Quakers win

September 27, 2005
RICHMOND, Ind. —
First-year Hillary Carter tied a school record on Tuesday with four goals in a match, as the Earlham College women's soccer team blanked Anderson University 4-0 on Matlack Field.

It was the third straight shutout for the Quakers (6-2-1) who have put together three wins in a row and six consecutive games without a loss. The only blemish during the span is a 1-1 tie at Manchester College on Sept. 17.

Carter (Middletown, OH/Lakota East) got started at the 21:28 mark of the first half with a goal on an assist from Ashley Reyer. The second score came after Carter was pulled down from behind as she was ready to challenge Anderson's goalie Kelsey Alcorn. Carter's attempt on the penalty kick was initially stopped by Alcorn, but Carter nailed the rebound into the net at 28:51. Carter's third and fourth goals were unassisted. The third score gave the Quakers a 3-0 advantage at intermission. The fourth was her 10th of the year, which is four away from the Earlham season record for goals established in 1999 by Shoshana Erickson and Lacey Berns.

The four goals equals the Earlham record that was set by Erickson in a 6-0 victory over Hiram College on Sept. 30, 2000. It is also the sixth time since the program was established in 1988 that a women' s player has put together a hat trick (three goals in a game). The others to do it are Erickson (twice), Marina Michahelles (twice) and Berns. Tuesday's total for Carter was also one score off the North Coast Athletic Conference mark of five that has stood since 1997.

The Quakers out shot the Ravens 23-1 with a 9-2 edge in corner kicks. Earlham senior goalkeeper Kari Wilder-Romans (Ann Arbor, MI/Pioneer) had one save before being relieved by first-year Natasha Kroma (Marion, IN/Marion).

Earlham begins NCAC play on Saturday at Allegheny College. The match starts at 11 a.m. Back-to-back shutouts highlighted the Earlham College women's soccer victories this weekend. Box score
