Grantham, Pa. (Oct. 12, 2021) - #12 Messiah University (9-2-1, 4-0) scored four goals on 38 shots en route to a 4-0 win over Alvernia University (3-9, 0-4) on Tuesday night in MAC Commonwealth women's soccer action at Messiah. 

Alvernia was held to just one shot on the night, and it came in the 8th minute from Angelica Key. The shot didn't have much on it on Messiah's grass field and was tracking out to the left to keep Alvernia off the board.

Messiah got on the board in the tenth minute when Brianna Seip fired in a hard shot past Alvernia keeper Brynn Bock.

The Falcons added to their lead in with a goal in the 31st minute, and made it a 3-0 contest with just over a minute remaining in the first half.

Messiah's offensive efforts picked up the second half, with 25 of its 38 shots coming in the final 45, but Alvernia gave up just one goal - an unassisted shot by Messiah's Jessie Fisher in the 57th minute.

Both teams went scoreless the rest of the way as Messiah took the 4-0 victory.

Bock and Lily Sankey split the game in net. Bock finished with four saves and Sankey finished with 11. 

Alvernia returns to the field on Friday at Muhlenberg.
