Colonels dominant in 5-0 win at Trine

The Centre field hockey put forth a dominant performance on the road, keeping Trine University from attempting a single shot during a 5-0 victory in Angola, Ind. on Friday.

Junior Barbara Parks (Chapel Hill, N.C.) scored a pair of goals, giving her a team-high seven on the season, and the Colonels held lopsided advantages in every statistical category in cruising to the victory.

In addition to keeping Trine from attempting a shot, Centre took 42 of its own, putting 28 of those on cage. The Colonels held a 25-1 advantage in penalty corners, and Trine goalkeeper Tristen Huntley made 22 saves. Centre senior goalkeeper Patty Cowley (Louisville, Ky.) didn't have to make a save in posting her third shutout victory of the season.

The scoring started for Centre seven minutes into the game when Sydney White (Louisville, Ky.) scored on a deflection in front of the goal after a penalty corner. Four minutes later, Katy Meyer (Louisville, Ky.) made the score 2-0, scoring an unassisted goal on a shot from the top of the circle. Parks put the Colonels up 3-0 going into the half when she scored the first of her goals off an assist from Alexis Hebert (Chapel Hill, N.C.).

In the second half, Sarah Jessee (Louisville, Ky.) scored her sixth goal of the season on a Chelsea Klein (Louisville, Ky.) assist. Parks capped the scoring on an unassisted goal from the top of the circle with 15 minutes left in play.

With the win, Centre improves to 9-4 overall on the season. The Colonels return to action Thursday, Oct. 20 at Bellarmine.
