Brooklyn, N.Y. – The Lehman College women's soccer team got above the .500 mark with an 8-0 win over Medgar Evers in a game played at MCU Park in Brooklyn on Saturday.  The Lightning are now 7-6-1 overall and 3-1 in CUNYAC play.
 
Daniela Castro and Valeria Rojas Alingue each scored twice for Lehman.  Four other players tallied a goal each.  Lehman got on the board just barely two minutes into action when Rojas Alingue chipped a ball from midfield that got past the keeper for the opening tally.  The score went to 2-0 Lightning at 6:41 when Lillian Barreto found Daisy Gomez in the middle of the box.  Gomez put her shot into the left side of the net.  Castro's first goal came at 17:19 on an unassisted marker.  Less than a minute later, Rojas Alingue connected on her second tally of the game, making the score 4-0.
 
Lehman got four more goals in the second half to seal the 8-0 win.  Castro scored first, just past the hour mark.  Sheila Davila netted her first goal of the campaign to make the score 6-0.  Finally, Emily Herrera and Melanie Siranaula closed out the scoring.
 
In the win, Rebecca Gritz made three saves.  Lehman outshot Medgar, 22-5 and took four corner kicks to just one for the Panthers.  The victory marks the fourth-straight win for Lehman.  They have not conceded a goal during the win streak and have outscored their opponents 21-0 in that stretch.
