Lewis, Fetzer leads Thoroughbreds to 3-1 road win over Castleton

CASTLETON, VT – The Skidmore College women's soccer team wrapped up nonconference play with a dominant 3-1 road victory over Castleton on Wednesday evening.

The Thoroughbreds (5-4-2) totaled 42 shots, including 21 on goal, and generated nine corner kicks as senior Abby Lewis scored twice and fellow senior Hannah Fetzer netted her first goal of the season. The Spartans (2-10) managed just three shots on goal but kept the score close behind 18 goalkeeper saves.

With her second goal, Lewis became the 12th player in program history to reach 50 career points.

Sophomore Kendall Livingston and freshman Aila Chase each played 45 minutes in goal, with Chase earning her first career victory after holding Castleton scoreless in the second half.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After a handball inside the box on an initial cross, Lewis converted the ensuing penalty kick to give Skidmore a 1-0 lead in the third minute.
  • Castleton tied the game in the ninth minute when a pass was intercepted inside Skidmore's box and sent into an unguarded net.
  • Skidmore outshot Castleton 22-3 in the first half and put 10 shots on goal, but nine saves from the Spartans' goalkeeper kept the game tied at halftime.
  • In the 49th minute, junior Olivia Chandler worked her way into the box and found an unmarked Lewis, who lifted a shot into the top right corner to restore Skidmore's lead.
  • Fetzer added an insurance goal in the 77th minute, making a run down the right side to collect a well-placed through ball from fellow senior Alexandra Verna before firing past the goalkeeper.
STANDOUT THOROUGHBREDS
  • Lewis recorded her second brace of the year to improve to a team-best six goals. She currently also has 22 career goals, which ties for tenth in program history.
  • Fetzer scored the fourth goal of her career.
  • Verna dished out her first career assist.
  • Chandler recorded her third assist on the season and seventh of her career, and also took a team-high 12 shots.
