THROGGS NECK, NY – On Wednesday night, the Maritime College women's soccer team concluded its four-game homestand against St. Joseph's LI.  In a matchup of two teams that had yet to lose a Skyline Conference game, the Golden Eagles (4-1-2, 4-0-0 Skyline) came away with a 7-1 victory over the Privateers (3-4-0, 2-1-0 Skyline) at Reinhart Field.

St. Joseph's LI scored a pair of goals in the first 20 minutes, then added another in the 43^rd minute to take 3-0 lead into halftime.  After the Golden Eagles' Brooke Esposito found the back of the net in the 56^th minute, Kiera Ford (Montgomery, NY) put Maritime on the board.  She fired a blast from 40 yards out that hit the post and bounced right back to her.  Ford knocked in the rebound for her team-leading sixth tally of the season.

However, the Golden Eagles responded less than two minutes later before increasing their advantage to 6-1 in the 66^th minute.  St. Joseph's LI picked up a late goal to close out the scoring.
