Wildcats Roll Past Banshees

WEST WINDSOR, NJ - Kelly Smith broke the ice just 11 seconds into the game and the New Jersey Wildcats added eight more goals in rolling to a 9-0 victory over the South Jersey Banshees yesterday at Mercer County Community College. Smith finished with three goals as the Wildcats improved to 5-0 for the season.

Marinette Pichon - making her home debut - stole the ball off the Banshees kickoff and carried the ball up the field before slipping a pass through for Smith, who first-timed a shot past charging Banshees keeper Megan Ramey for a 1-0 lead 11 seconds in. Smith's goal was the fastest goal ever in club history. New Jersey also set a record for most consecutive wins with their fifth straight win.

Pichon added two goals for the Wildcats while Kate Sands, Anne Makinen, and Manya Makoski posted a goal and an assist. Kim Francis contributed two assists while Becky Wachsberger and Alissa Kacar split the shutout in goal. With the shutout, the Wildcats have held the opposition scoreless for 367 straight minutes.

New Jersey outshot the Banshees by a 38-2 margin and Ramey posted 15 saves for South Jersey before leaving the game in the 70th minute. Dolores Deasley scored the other goal for the Wildcats, who connected six times in the first half.

The Wildcats face the Banshees again on Friday when they travel to Winslow High School for a 5:30 p.m. matchup.
