HAVERFORD, PA - The Haverford College women's
soccer team defeated visiting Arcadia, 3-0, Saturday afternoon
in the first game of the 2006 Haverford College Women's Soccer

the ball off the fingertips of the Arcadia goalie, and into the
top right corner of the net.

off the bat in the second half. In the 48th minute, Hedrick connected
off a cross from sophomore defender Southey Saul to give the Fords
a 2-0 advantage. Dowling notched her first career collegiate goal,
and gave the Fords a 3-0 lead in the 79th minute off a cross from
sophomore forward Annie Turner.

made five saves in net for the Fords, earning her first shutout
of the season. Haverford also held a six-to-three advantage in
corner kicks.
