CRESSON, Pa. (Sept. 12) – Waynesburg freshman midfielder Danielle Danhires continued her strong play on Wednesday afternoon, scoring a pair of goals in the Yellow Jackets' 4-1 victory over Mount Aloysius. After dropping the first two games to open the season, Waynesburg has now won three-straight contests and out-scored its opponent by a 10-1 margin.

Danhires, who was selected the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week on Monday, put the first tally on the board in the game at the 21:00-minute mark. The Mounties quickly evened the contest at 1-1 about eight minutes later with a goal by Erica Miller. The goal by Mount Aloysius snapped a 218 minutes, 54 seconds scoreless streak registered by the Yellow Jacket goalkeepers, a streak which spanned over parts of four games.

Shortly after the contest was tied, sophomore Katie Gaspich reclaimed the lead, 2-1, for Waynesburg with her first goal (unassisted) of the season at 28:48. Nine minutes later, junior forward Juli Amato increased the Yellow Jackets' lead to 3-1 off an assist from freshman Brittney Brown at the 37:32-mark.

Danhires recorded her second multi-goal in three days at the 81:45-mark when she netted her sixth goal of the season to seal the victory, 4-1.

Junior goalkeeper Paige Yeich recorded the win after making three saves on six shots in the first 45 minutes of action. Senior Amy Mills played the second half in net for Waynesburg and made one save in 45 minutes.

Waynesburg held a commanding 29-7 advantage in the shots category, including 21 attempts in the first period. The four goals are tied for the most scored in a match this by the Yellow Jackets, as they first tallied four goals in a win over Chatham last Wednesday.

The Yellow Jackets return to action on Saturday, Sept. 16, with a home contest against Pitt-Greensburg at John F. Wiley Stadium. The game is scheduled for a 1 p.m. start.
