COLCHESTER, Vt. – No. 1 Kutztown field hockey featured five different goal scorers that accounted for a season-high seven goals in defeating Southern Connecticut State 7-0 Sunday afternoon in the final game of the Best Western Windjammer Fall Classic, played on the campus of Saint Michael's College in Colchester, Vt.
 
The Golden Bears (3-0 overall) won both of their games in the tournament on back-to-back days, defeating the host Purple Knights 5-0 on Saturday.
 
Erin Gonzalez (East Earl, Pa./Garden Spot) and Mia Simpson (Wildwood, Mo./Lafayette) both scored two goals to lead the Maroon and Gold offense and Marlee Fetrow (Birdsboro, Pa./Daniel Boone), Megan Doyle (Hackettstown, N.J./Hackettstown) and Marissa Rice (Lancaster, Pa./Lampeter Strasburg) each tallied a goal. It was the first tallies of the season for Fetrow and Rice.
 
Fetrow got the scoring going with a shot from the perimeter on a pass by Sarah Gatehouse (Sinking Spring, Pa./Wilson) that beat Owls goalie, Rachel Miller, with just 0:50 left in the opening quarter. Gonzalez and Simpson found the back of the cage in the second quarter with assists to Grace Harrold (York, Pa./Central York) Gonzalez to give KU a 3-0 advantage at halftime.
 
Doyle received a pass by Jessica Traynor (Pennsburg, Pa./Upper Perkiomen) and finished around the front of the cage just 3:27 into the third quarter. Gonzalez, Rice and Simpson rounded out the scoring for the Golden Bears, with Doyle and Gatehouse adding assists to the mix.
