Box Score
Yonkers, N.Y. – College of Mount Saint Vincent sophomore Allison Bhadai (Wappingers Falls, N.Y.) scored three times and Charlotte Barnham (London, England) posted six points as the women's soccer program picked up an 8-0 Skyline Conference win over visiting NYU-POLY on Friday night.
 
Mount Saint Vincent opened the scoring on Friday when Vanessa Cornacchio (Oceanside, N.Y.) potted her ninth off the season in the 16th minute. Cornacchio's initial shot was saved but she corralled the rebound and found the back of the net at 15:46.
 
Just over 20 minutes later Barnham scored her first of two goals in the game and her sixth of the season to give the Mount a 2-0 lead. She took a touch pass from Alexis Contreras (Valley Stream, N.Y.) and the top of the box and scored at 35:55.
 
Cornacchio closed out the scoring in the first half and collected her 10th goal of the campaign with just under three minutes to play before halftime. Barnham centered a pass in the box where Cornacchio gathered and scored for the Dolphins heading into the intermission.
 
The Dolphins controlled the play in the opening 45 minutes and outshot the visiting Jays 19-2. The Mount also took three of the four corner kicks in the half.
 
Coming out of the break Mount Saint Vincent scored three times in the first 10 minutes to open a 6-0 lead. Barnham tallied for the second time off a free kick at 47:08 before Bhadai scored three straight times for the Dolphins to open a 7-0 lead. Her first goal of the season came at 51:23 and her second followed at 54:30 off a pass from Shannon Doyle (Central Islip, N.Y.). Bhadai closed out the hat trick in the 79th minute when she snuck a shot under the bar.
 
Senoir Gabriela Astorino (Warwick, N.Y.) finished off the scoring in the game for the Dolphins with her fourth of the season in the 89th minute. She scored from the top right corner of the box to set a new career-high in goals in her next to last regular season home game.
 
Mount Saint Vincent finished the night with four different goal scorers and three players with at least a pair of tallies. Cornacchio leads the team in points with 22 after her two goal effort and Barnham paces the Mount with six assists and sits second in points with 20. It marks the first time on record the Mount has had two players in the same season with at least 20 points.

Mount Saint Vincent held the advantage in every statistical category on Friday, outshooting NYU-POLY 31-5 overall and 19-3 in shots on goal. The Dolphins took the edge in corner kicks 3-1.
