FORD SCORES FOUR GOALS ADDS THREE ASSITS IN WILKES' 19-1 WIN OVER WELLS

EDWARDSVILLE – Gabby Ford (Elmont, NY/Sewanhaka) scored four goals and added three assists to propel host Wilkes University to a 19-1 victory over Wells College Saturday afternoon at Schmidt Stadium.

With the win Wilkes moves to 5-0 on the season, its best start since last year when the Lady Colonels started 7-1. Wells drops to 0-1 after its season opener.

Ford scored all four of her goals in the first half rally and Tori Kerr (Beacon, NY/Beacon) added all four of her strikes in the frame as Wilkes held command of play in its offensive end through the first thirty minutes of play.

The Wilkes lead grew to 17-0 before Wells College's Marina Fargnoli found the back of the net on a free position shot. Anya Edwards (Binghamton, NY/Binghamton) and Ally Bicskei (Vernon, NJ/Vernon Township) rounded out the Lady Colonels scoring netting back-t0-back tallies over the final four minutes.

Kerr joined Ford scoring four goals and adding two assists. Madeleine Brownsey (Glenside, PA/St. Basil Academy) chipped in with three goals and one helper, while eight other Lady Colonels scored one goal each.

Morgan Galluzzo (New London, NH/Kearsarge Regional) collected her fifth win in net for Wilkes after relieving starter Gabby Zawacki (Old Forge, PA/Holy Cross) after the games first four minutes. Chelsea Dann suffered the loss in goal for Wells finishing with 12 saves.

Wilkes held a commanding shot advantage (37-2) and caused 39 Wells turnovers throughout. The Lady Colonels also collected 15 of the 22 draw controls leading to their dominance in the offensive zone.
