Sophomore midfielder Maddy Phillips (Seattle, WA) of the University of Redlands women's soccer team supplied three goals as the Maroon and Gray routed the University of La Verne, 4-0, on Saturday afternoon in Redlands.

Prior to the start of the match, the team recognized its lone senior, goalkeeper Tenley Rawlings (Salt Lake City, UT), as a part of Senior Day festivities.

Just 15 minutes into the contest, junior defender Chelsea Hafley (Redlands, CA) rocketed a long through ball from the midfield, which found the feet of Phillips. Phillips took control of the ball, and easily snuck it past the La Verne keeper for the 1-0 advantage.

Despite many chances to increase their lead in the first stanza, a number of offside whistles kept the Bulldogs from piling on early.

The flood gates opened in the second half, however, as the Maroon and Gray scored three goals in a span of 22 minutes.

Sophomore forward Fionna Connolly (Salem, OR) tried to score in the 53rd minute, but the attempt ricocheted off of a Leopard defender. Phillips then took possession of the rebound and fired home a shot that put the Bulldogs up, 2-0.

Phillips found the back of the net for the third time at the 61-minute mark when she dribbled down the right-center portion of the field and booted a shot that rippled the twine.

A slew of first-year players contributed to the final goal of the match. Freshman forward Gabi Juliano (Brookfield, CT) possessed the ball and distributed to freshman forward Samantha Rivera (Thousand Oaks, CA). Rivera took a few touches on the left wing and laced a low centering cross to junior midfielder Emily Birzak (Columbia, MD), who subsequently buried the pass for her first collegiate score.

The Bulldogs used a trio of keepers, and none of the three netminders faced a shot on goal. Rawlings was credited with the win, guarding the net for 70 scoreless minutes. La Verne's Brigette Jennings entertained a barrage of shots and made 15 saves.

La Verne (5-11-1, 3-7-1 SCIAC) hosts Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges in its season finale on Monday at 2:30 p.m.
