Hino, Mullo Score For Yale
JERSEY CITY, N.J. – On Saturday against Harvard, the Yale
women's soccer team had a number of quality scoring chances
early in the game but couldn't capitalize. Against Saint
Peter's on Tuesday, the Bulldogs were far more efficient.
Yale scored on its first two shots and cruised to a 2-0 victory
over the Peahens on a raw night at Cochrane Stadium.
Miyuki Hino and Enma Mullo had
the goals for the Bulldogs, while Kristen Forster
added two assists. Ayana Sumiyasu made four saves
in goal to post the shutout.
Yale (4-6-1) jumped on the board just 1 minute, 58 seconds into
the game when Mullo tallied her second goal of the season.
Neither team had a shot over the next 14 minutes until Hino beat
Saint Peter's goalkeeper Erin Ronan at 16:53. Forster and
Kate Macauley assisted on the goal.
The Peahens (3-9) answered Hino's goal with a flurry, but
Sumiyasu made two saves in the next five minutes to keep them off
the scoreboard.
Saint Peter's best scoring chance came late in the first
half, but Valerie Kay's shot deflected off the crossbar.
The Bulldogs controlled play in the second half, outshooting
Saint Peter's 7-2.
The shutout was the 11th of Sumiyasu's career.
Ronan finished with three saves for the Peahens.
Yale returns to Ivy League play on Saturday, playing at
Dartmouth. Kickoff is slated for 4 p.m.
