IN SHORT
Sarah Lawrence (5-9) def. St. Joseph's (1-11), 8-0.

KEY MOMENTS
Trouble for the Bears began in the eighth minute when an SJC handball resulted in a Sarah Lawrence penalty kick. Senior Paige Smith (Glen Ridge, N.J./Glen Ridge) was elected to take the first PK of her career and calmly slotted the ball in the net for the eventual game-winning goal. The Gryphons scored their next goal just over two minutes later. Sophomore Sophia Spralja (San Clemente, Calif./San Clemente) clanged a direct kick off the crossbar, and the rebound found Smith who scored her second goal of the game. Smith completed her first collegiate hat trick in the 14th minute after controlling a crossing pass from rookie Jordynn Figueroa (Gresham, Ore./Gresham). Figueroa had five shots in the half and rounded out the first-half scoring with a successful strike on a feed from Spralja in the 31st minute.

Coming out of halftime with a 4-0 lead, the Gryphons kept up the pressure in the second period. Sophomore Shira Ungar (Bethesda, Md./Charles E. Smith Jewish Day) intercepted a goal kick in the 50th minute and scored a fifth goal of the season to put Sarah Lawrence on top, 5-0. Two minutes later, Spralja assisted Figueroa on a goal for the second time in the contest. The seventh goal was scored in the 67th minute when Spralja and rookie Maddie Eppler (Omaha, Neb./Millard North) fed the ball to first year Madison Rosandich (Haddonfield, N.J./Haddonfield Memorial), who scored her first collegiate goal to make it a 7-0 game. Rookie Eva Horstman (Edina, Minn./Edina) rounded out the scoring in the 80th minute on yet another feed from Spralja.

GRYPHONS STATISTICS
Totaling five assists on the evening, Spralja entered the record book as the first Gryphon to record more than three assists in a single game. The sophomore has a team-record 11 assists this season and is the program's career leader with 12. Smith is the second Gryphon ever to record a hat trick, following Ungar's three-goal effort against Yeshiva (Sept. 18).

Figueroa and Spralja finished with six shots apiece. Smith totaled four shots followed by three from Ungar and Horstman. Eppler had two shots, while Grace Euphrat Weston (San Francisco, Calif./San Francisco Univ. HS) and Rosandich tallied one shot. Defenders Emily Pressley (Columbia, Mo./Hickman), Clarke Powell (Snellville, Ga./Shiloh) and Phebe Macrae Corcoran (Tivoli, N.Y./Putney School (Vt.)) contributed to the Gryphons' fifth shutout of the season. Goalkeeper Rachell Mosquera (Maplewood, N.J./Columbia) earned the shutout win without facing a shot from the Bears.
