Box Score

THE FACTS
Carnegie Mellon (13-5-1) 2, McDaniel (18-2-1) 0
What: NCAA Div. III women's soccer tournament second round
When:
Sunday, Nov. 14
Where: Westminster, Md.

THE SKINNY
Carnegie Mellon netted a pair of first-half goals and held McDaniel off the scoreboard for a 2-0 win in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

THE LEADERS
Katherine Carstensen (Pearl River, N.Y./Pearl River) anchored the Green Terror defense with two saves.

FOR THE FOES

• Alana Frederick scored the Tartans' second goal to lead the offense.
• Carolyn Botz recorded two saves for the Tartan defense.

THE REST OF THE STORY
• In the 24th minute, Carnegie Mellon's Cecelia Dieterich crossed a ball into the box, which deflected off a defender and back across the net for the game's first goal.
• The Tartans added a second just shy of 14 minutes later when Helena Spencer found Alana Frederick streaking towards the goal. Frederick was able to power it home for the 2-0 lead.
• McDaniel created a few opportunities in the second half but were unable to capitalize.

THE INSIDE STORY
• Carnegie Mellon finished with a 12-11 edge in shots and 7-3 advantage in corner kicks.
• The Tartans, who held McDaniel scorless for just the second time this season, moves on to the NCAA tournament third round next weekend and will face MIT at a site yet to be determined.
