CLAREMONT, Calif. – The 0-0 tie was finally broken in the 100th minute of play when Samantha Kunz drilled a free kick into the upper right corner for the 1-0 victory over La Verne. The Claremont-Mudd- Scripps women's soccer team holds onto first place in SCIAC with their eighth conference win of the season.
CMS controlled the game but just were not able to put one in the net during the regulation time. A few shots by Katelyn Faust and Elizabeth Augustine were just inches too high.
Goalkeeper Molly Freed only had two save opportunities and handled them beautifully.
The Athenas lead the SCIAC in all offensive categories. Sophomore Makella Brems leads the conference in goals scored while junior Darrah Shields has the most assists and shots taken. CMS has scored 26 goals during SCIAC play with the next highest scoring team, Cal Lutheran, at 19 goals.
The Athenas (11-4-1, 8-2 SCIAC) next face Occidental (7-4-1, 5-4-1 SCIAC) in Eagle Rock and then return home to play Redlands (6-5-2, 4-4-2 SCIAC) at 11 a.m.
