HOLYOKE, MASS – The Anne Arundel Community College women's soccer team posted a pair of wins over the weekend at the Cougar Classic hosted by Holyoke Community College. The Riverhawks stunned No. 6 Suffolk County Community College, 2-1, in double overtime Saturday, before blanking the host Cougars, 3-0, on Sunday.
Ryann Brooks led AACC with a pair of goals and an assist on the weekend after scoring the game-winning goal in the 108th minute and assisting the other against the nationally-ranked Sharks. She added a first-half goal against Holyoke the following day.
Aleyna Yazici also scored against Suffolk, recording her first career goal. Goalkeeper Kaitlyn Kenney made 10 10 saves in the win.
Less than 18 hours after their upset win, the Riverhawks limited Holyoke to two shots on net in Kenney's first career shutout. Aiyanna Pullins opened the scoring in the first minute of the game and assisted the Riverhawks' second goal at the eight-minute mark, scored by Madelynn Rowe. Cassidy Smith also recorded an assist on the first goal of the game. Brooks capped the scoring late in the first half.
Now standing at 3-1 overall, the Riverhawks are idle until Thursday, September 15, when AACC hosts Division I Hagerstown at 3 p.m. in a Region 20 matchup.
