PHILADELPHIA
- Kelsey Haycook connected with Emily Fenton twice to score her sixth and seventh goals of the season en route to a La Salle victory, 4-0, over Loyola (Md.).  Six Explorers earned points in today's win, improving La Salle's record to 6-1-0 on the season.
 
"I thought Kelsey Haycook was superb in today's game," said head coach Paul Royal.  "Her first goal was huge for us gaining some much-needed momentum. The girls brought a lot of energy and pressure today that produced quality chances for us throughout the game."
 
Haycook's first goal of the day came just under 10 minutes into the game when Fenton sent a pass to the right wing. Haycook took two dribbles and fired a shot past Loyola keeper Didi Haracic for what would prove to be the game-winning goal. 
 
The Greyhounds would keep La Salle off the board for the remainder of the half, but in the 56th minute, Fenton would find Haycook again, this time after firing a shot of her own off the near post to Haycook who buried the rebound in the box.
 
Just over 10 minutes later, La Salle converted a corner kick into an excellent goal by senior Ashley Chilcoat.  Chilcoat netted her first goal of the season off a double assist from teammates Anna Dolhansky and Maryam Huseini, unloading from long range and ricocheting the ball off the underside of the cross bar for the score. 
 
Chilcoat remained hungry and less than five minutes later sent in a beautiful cross that classmate Renee Washington would head in for her fourth goal of the season.
 
La Salle's three second-half goals came within a fifteen-minute span and solidified the victory over the Greyhounds, who recorded just three shots on goal during the match.
 
Katie Getzinger earned the win for La Salle, improving her record to 3-1-0.  The shut out is the junior's first of the season.
 
"Our backline held strong behind a special performance from Ashley Chilcoat. It was also great to see Katie Getzinger get her first career shutout." 
 
The Explorers travel to Storrs, Connecticut on Thursday to face UConn in mid-week action.  The Huskies are 5-3-0 on the season, and are currently receiving votes in the NSCAA National Rankings.
 
"Our main focus shifts towards our matchup against a very talented UConn team.  This is going to be one of our toughest challenges this season, but I'm confident the girls will be looking to prove something."
