Emmitsburg, Md. (September 2, 2008)--Kelly Brashear scored twice to lead American to a 3-0 victory over Mount St. Mary's in women's soccer action at Waldron Family Stadium on campus on Tuesday afternoon. The Mount's freshman goalkeeper Alicia Miller (Lititz, Pa./Warwick) made eight saves in the loss.

Brashear opened the scoring 17:22 into the game when she ran down a long pass from Tatiana Bertolo and chipped the ball past Miller for a 1-0 advantage. The Eagles (2-2) carried play throughout the half, outshooting the Mount (0-3) 9-0 in the opening stanza.

The game remained tight until Brashear scored again, this time off a corner kick, to give American a 2-0 advantage. Brashear corralled Marissa Crolett's corner kick in box, turned and fired a shot into the top right corner of the net for her second score of the game. The Eagles rounded out the scoring with 25 seconds left when Krystn Hodge fired a shot from 18 yards out to beat Miller. Mary Riegler made the play, pushing the ball down the field on a breakaway before feeding Hodge for the score.

The Mount's best scoring chance came with just under 22 minutes left when Meghan Haspert (Woodbine, Md./Glenelg) fired a shot low and to the left that American goalkeeper Arianna Efstathiou was able to smother.

American held a 23-to-3 advantage in shots in the game. Miller made eight saves for the Mount, the third straight game she has reached that figure. Efstathiou made a pair of save to post the shutout for American.

The Mount returns to action on Friday, September 5th, with a 5:30 p.m. game against Radford at the Marshall Thundering Herd Nike Invitational. The Mount will face The Citadel at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 7, in the second day of the tournament.
