NEWBURGH, N.Y. – Mount Saint Mary College senior

Nolan tallied her first goal in the fifth minute, putting home a right-side cross from junior
Erin McKeon (Watertown, Conn.) to make the score 2-0. The senior scored on a similar play in the 27th minute, this time finishing off a pass from freshman
Allie Kleine (Vernon, N.J.). It wouldn't be long before she completed the hat trick in the 28th minute, taking a nice vertical pass from freshman
Kelsey Burns (Huntington, N.Y.) and depositing it in the back of the net.
McKeon put the Knights on the board in the 4th minute, knocking in a blocked clearance by the Yeshiva goalkeeper. She also added another goal in the 16th minute with assists going to junior
Colleen Ryan (Point Lookout, N.Y.) and freshman
Tara McDermott (Tewksbury, N.J.).
Kleine also scored a pair of first-half goals, the first in the 22nd minute off a pass from Nolan and the second in the 37th minute following a nice feed from sophomore
Kelly Candelet (Mystic, Conn.).
Junior
Colleen Cappadora (Brooklyn, N.Y.) got in on the act at the end of the first half, finding the frame on a nice shot to the near post. Cappadora notched a second goal with a high-arcing shot in the 82nd minute that found its way over the keeper's head.
