Box Score Carlee Bock's through ball set up Damilia Brooks' goal less than two minutes into the match as Mount Olive defeated Chowan 4-0 in non-conference women's soccer Wednesday at Amon Field. The Trojans outshot the Hawks 35-1, but needed two goals late in the second half to pull away.
Mount Olive (3-7-1) got on the scoreboard on its first shot of the contest as Bock's service from the 35 found Brooks just above the 18. Brooks beat the keeper on a one-on-one to give the Trojans a 1-0 lead at the 1:40 mark.
The Trojans outshot Chowan 15-0 in the first half, but had to wait until their 12th shot to add to their lead. Daisy Thomas carried the ball down the left sideline, then dribbled to the center and scored from just inside the box at 33:03 as the Trojans went into halftime with a 2-0 lead.
Chowan goalkeeper Jennifer Harvell kept the Hawks (1-9-0) within range through the first half, recording 11 of her 19 saves in the first 45 minutes. Harvell also denied Bock early in the second half on a long-range shot, tipping the ball off the crossbar for the save.
Mount Olive used a corner kick at exactly 71:00 to extend its lead to 3-0. Tia Rose played the ball from the left corner directly onto the foot of Jennifer Sickles, who one-touched the ball just across the line from directly in front of the goal.
The Trojans completed the scoring at 82:05 on Maddy Robak's direct kick into the upper 90 from just above the top right of the box.
Trojan goalkeeper Carolin Edenhofner recorded a save on Chowan's lone shot midway through the second half. Mount Olive was flagged for offsides six times, one call negating Ellie Barnes' goal in the ninth minute.
Mount Olive is off until next Wednesday when the Trojans head to Wilson, N.C., for a Conference Carolinas match-up against Barton. Match time is 5 p.m.
