9/5/2003 12:00:00 AM | Women's Soccer
Senior forward Lauren Caminati (Solon, Ohio/Solon) scored her second goal of the season in Kent State Universitys (1-1-1) 3-0 win over Campbell University (1-2-0) today (Sept. 5) to become the womens soccer programs all-time points scoring leader. Caminati now has 55 points in her career, moving past Nicki Downey (1997-2000), who tallied 54 points in four seasons.
The Golden Flashes win was their first of the season as Kent State won its opening game in the 2003 Kent State Soccer Tournament. Wright State University defeated Elon University 1-0 in the first game of the tournament. The Golden Flashes play Elon, tomorrow at 1 p.m., while Wright State takes on Campbell at 11 a.m.
Sophomore midfielder Jenn Frey (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mother of Mercy) got things started for the Golden Flashes, scoring off a feed from senior forward Lauren Covay (Oswego, Ill./Oswego), ripping a shot from 12 yards out into the left corner. Kent State carried the 1-0 lead into halftime.
Covay then assisted on KSUs second tally, heading a pass to sophomore Amanda Messer (Cincinnati, Ohio/McNicholas) at the top of the box, whose diving shot went just inside the right post for a 2-0 Kent State lead. Caminati then closed out the scoring with an outstanding individual effort, dribbling the ball up the left sideline, taking on three Campbell defenders, before gaining space and driving home a shot from 16 yards out that sailed into the upper right corner of the goal. The tally was the 22nd of her career, improving on her own school record.
Freshman Shannon Lynn (Brampton, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas) went the distance in goal for Kent State, earning her first career shutout. She improved to 1-0-0 on the year by making one save. The Golden Flashes outshot Campbell 15-9 in the contest.
