Scots Off to Best Start in School History, Improving to 6-0

With its second 4-1 victory during a 24-hour period, this time over visiting Kalamazoo College on Sunday afternoon, The College of Wooster women's soccer team has gotten off to the best start in program history, having won all six of its matches thus far.

Wooster, which had begun a season 5-0 more than once, including last year, but never reached 6-0, overcame an early scare from upstart Kalamazoo (3-4). The Hornets' Jamie Franks scored an unassisted goal just 91 seconds into Sunday's action to give her squad the lead.

That wouldn't last long, though, as the Fighting Scots knotted things up during the ninth minute via freshman Maggie Kehm's first collegiate goal. Wooster would add two more goals, both courtesy of the Chantal Koechli-Liz Mott tandem, before the half was up. First, Koechli scored on a Mott assist in the 27th minute and then Mott headed in a ball off a Koechli corner kick during the 33rd minute.

The Scots added to that 3-1 cushion early in the second half, with Kate Kiley booting in her third goal of the year after receiving a through ball from Koechli. It marked Koechli's sixth assist this season, and she also has three goals for 12 points already.

Wooster, which beat Bethany College 4-1 Saturday, combined to outshoot its opponents 65-14 over the weekend. Minding the net on Sunday was Sara Flannelly for the first half and Alix Hoffman in the second. They each recorded two saves, while Kalamazoo's Taylor Comiskey had six.

The win streak will be tested on Wednesday when the Scots host Case Western Reserve University (4-1) at 5 p.m.
