Dresser’s Goal Lifts Scots Past Marietta

WOOSTER, Ohio - The College of Wooster's Sara Dresser scored in the 57th minute and its defense shutdown visiting Marietta College for all 90 minutes, as the Fighting Scots earned a 1-0 victory Wednesday afternoon at Carl Dale Memorial Field, marking their fifth win in five tries in the all-time series with the Pioneers.

Dresser, a senior midfielder, found the back of the Marietta net for the lone goal when she used her head off a free kick from classmate Kristin McCall. The tally marked Dresser's second goal this season and the sixth of her career, while the helper was McCall's first this fall, and third of her career.

Overall, the Scots (4-0) dictated most of the action, holding a 27-5 shot advantage, and a decisive 10-2 mark in corner kicks.

In goal, Alix Hoffman only needed to make three saves to preserve Wooster's win and the first shutout of her career, while Sydney Collins kept Marietta (0-4) in it with four saves.

The Scots continue their homestand Saturday afternoon when they square off against Bethany (W.Va.) College (2-2) at 1 p.m.
