Olivia Rodrigues '21 and Kendall Discenza '21 recorded the first goals of their Hamilton College careers and the Continentals posted a 6-0 win against Morrisville State College in a non-conference game at Morrisville's Drake Field on Tuesday afternoon.

Hamilton (7-3-3 overall) was led by Cat Gambino '21 and Rodrigues. Gambino scored twice with one assist and Rodrigues had one goal and three assists. The five points tallied by both Continentals is the highest individual point total in a single game since Oct. 11, 2016, when Kate Whiston '18 scored three times (six points) in a 4-0 win against Sage College.

Morrisville State (6-9-0) placed three of its four shots on goal. Hamilton's Caity Smith '22 made two saves for her third win of the season. Rachel Pike '21 had one save in the second half.

Alex Fontana '20 opened the scoring in the ninth minute when Rodrigues stole the ball away from the Mustangs in Hamilton's end and advanced the ball up the right side. Rodrigues then found Fontana in the middle of the field and she launched a shot into the upper-right corner from 25 yards out.

Rodrigues picked up her second assist of the day at 23:43 when she sailed the ball up to Discenza who was charging into the box from the right side. Discenza tapped the pass around the defender for an open shot on Lydia Young (14 saves) and placed the ball into the left side of the net for her first collegiate goal.

Hamilton gained a three-goal lead at the start of the second half. Fontana sent a lead pass intended for Gambino cutting into the box that the Morrisville defender denied, but Gambino stole the ball right back and fired a shot into the upper 90 at 52:08.

Sydney Kim '21 put the game out of reach with her first goal of the season at 68:07. Gambino took a shot from the top of the box that was heading towards the lower-right corner but Young made a diving save and Kim one-timed the rebound into the goal.

Just over four minutes later, Rodrigues increased her point total to four when she fired a shot from outside the box into the opposite upper-left corner. Katie Tenefrancia '19 received credit for the assist, the second of her career.

Gambino scored her second goal of the game and team-leading seventh of the season in the 80th minute, and Rodrigues was not done dishing out assists as she received credit for her third and final helper of the contest.

Hamilton (4-3-2 NESCAC) travels to Waterville, Maine, on Saturday, Oct. 20 to take on Colby College (4-6-1, 1-6-1) in its final NESCAC game of the regular season. The Continentals are currently fifth in the conference standings and the Mules are tied with Bowdoin College for ninth. The top eight teams qualify for the NESCAC championship.
