Box Score Waltham, Mass. —Holly Szafran recorded a career-high six points while Dara Spital added her second and third goals of the season as the Brandeis University women's soccer team rolled past visiting Clark University, 6-0, in a non-conference matchup on Sunday afternoon.
The Judges, ranked 12th in Division III, improve to 2-0 on the season, while the Cougars' record is even at 1-1.
Brandeis got all the scoring they needed in the 11th minute when Sapir Edalati and Szafran connected some nifty passes along the left sideline. Szafran then found Spital streaking down the middle of the field, and the junior connected for what would prove to be her 10th career game-winning goal.
Szafran notched her first goal of the game and the season 5:08 later, taking a left sideline throw-in from Mary Shimko. Szafran lofted a shot from 35 yards out, putting it just under the crossbar and over the Clark goalkeeper Gabby Paolini (North Potomac, Md.) for her sixth career goal.
Edalati got in on the scoring act in the 23rd minute, when she collected a pass from Szafran, dribbled through the box and fired a shot low into the right netting.
Cidney Moscovitch rounded out the first-half scoring in the 33rd minute, when she took a deflected ball and dribbled in on net for her first collegiate goal.
Brandeis tacked on two early second-half goals. Spital's second of the day and the 16th of her career came in the 53rd minute out of a scrum in front of the net. Szafran closed out her six-point day just 3:04 later taking a terrific through-ball from Spital and one-timing it home.
Paolini made a career-high tying nine stops in the losing effort, while Brandeis junior Michelle Savuto played the first half for the Judges and sophomore Katy Lehmann and senior Leah Sax split time in the second. None were called on to make a save as the Judges owned a 29-1 shot advantage.
Clark returns to action on Saturday when they play host to Framingham State at 1:00 p.m.
