Benoit Tallies Four Points as Women’s Soccer Secures Third Seed with Victory over Keystone

HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. (Oct. 27, 2016) – Sophomore Amanda Benoit (Hazlet, N.J. / Raritan) totaled four points on two assists and one goal as the Centenary University women's soccer team secured the third seed in the CSAC Tournament with a 5-1 victory over Keystone College on Senior Day.

Sophomore Kristin Karszen (Manorville, N.Y. / Eastport South Manor) totaled four points on two goals for the Cyclones who improve to 9-8 overall and 8-3 in the Colonial States Athletic Conference. Hannah Richner scored a goal for the Giants who finish the season at 7-8-1 overall and 4-6-1 in the CSAC.

The Cyclones actually trailed early in the contest, as Richner scored off a loose ball that got away from freshman Justine Stefura (Port Reading, N.J. / WoodBridge) and rolled into the net for the 1-0 lead in the 7th minute.

Centenary equalized the game in the 27th minute, as Benoit played a high looping corner kick to Karszen who headed the ball in for the score. Senior Jessie Sharr (Belvidere, N.J. / Belvidere) made the most of her senior day by giving Centenary a 2-1 lead in the 37th minute, as she scored off an assist from freshman Chloe Christopher (Flemington, N.J. / Hunterdon Central).

Centenary continued to overwhelm the Giants in the opening stanza, as they scored two more goals, including a second goal from Kraszen which came off an assist from Christopher and junior Emily Pizzuto (Flemington, N.J. / Hunterdon Central).  The Cyclones held a 4-1 lead at halftime.

In the second half, Benoit assisted on her second goal of the afternoon with sophomore Kara LaPolice (Hopewell, N.J. / Hunterdon Central) goal in the 55th minute.
Benoit and junior Jessica Benoit (Hazlet, N.J. / Raritan) took a team-high four shots, while Stefura made three saves. Richner totaled a game-high five shots, while both Kristy Hansen and Nisa Cortes each took two shots apiece.

Before the game, Coach Davies and his staff honored Sharr and fellow classmate Korin Karszen (Manorville, N.Y. / Eastport South Manor).

Head Coach Kevin Davies and the Cyclones will return to action on Monday, Oct. 31st in the first round of the CSAC Tournament hosting the sixth seeded Knights of Neumann University.
