ST. CATHARINES, Ont - The Brock University women's soccer team (4-8 OUA) bounced back form a rough weekend with a convincing 5-0 victory over the visiting side from McMaster (3-6-1 OUA) on Wednesday afternoon.

The Badgers did not wait long to score the first goal of the contest. In the 9th minute, rookie Shaniqua De Gannes found the back of the net with a long distance strike from 35 yards out. The home side was back on the attack in the 11th minute, when a wide ball from the midfield found striker Brooke Boekestyn alone on the right wing. Brooke was then able to fire a cross onto the foot of Megan Salisbury who finished the play by sliding the ball passed the McMaster goalkeeper Cristina Abbatangelo.

The home side was clearly in fine form on this day as they were able to add a third goal in the 26th minute. The goal was scored by Boekestyn who now has nine goals on the season, breaking the previous school record of eight goals in a single season.

As the first half was coming to an end, the Badgers Ja'mill Millar managed to sneak a shot underneath Abbatangelo's right arm to give the Badgers a 4-0 lead going into halftime. 

In the second half, the Marauders managed to create multiple goal scoring opportunites, but could not find a way to beat Brock starting goalie Jenna Vasiliaskas. Her clean sheet was in jeapordy in the 81st minute when McMaster midfielder Kelsey Orlando was taken down inside the 18 yard box and was awarded a penalty kick. Orlando fired a shot to the bottom right corner, but was denied by Vasiliaskas.  

Brock forward Kelly Miller added a late goal in the 89th to make it 5-0 for the home side.

Vasiliaskas recorded nine saves for the victory, while McMaster's Abbatangelo collected two saves in the loss. 

The Brock women will be back in action on Sunday afternoon when they make the trip to London to face the nationally ranked Western Mustangs.
