Hamilton College's Hyla Mosher '23 scored two goals and Caity Smith '23 recorded her second career shutout as the Continentals posted a 3-0 victory over the Union College Dutchwomen in non-conference action at Hamilton's Ferguson Field on Tuesday afternoon.

The Continentals improved to 3-0-1 overall as they dominated play. Hamilton held a commanding 28-10 shot advantage and took nine corner kicks to Union's none. The Continentals host nationally ranked No. 22 Middlebury College for a NESCAC match on Saturday, Sept. 25 at 11 a.m.

The multi-goal contest is the second this year for Mosher, who leads the team with four goals and has a dozen for her Hamilton career. Smith made seven saves and owns a 0.53 goals against average and .929 save percentage. NESCAC Player of the Week Rylie Mutton '23 scored a goal for the third straight match.

Mosher made it 1-0 in the 32nd minute. She took a long pass from Rose McCullough '23 down the right sideline and dribbled into the right side of the 18-yard box. Mosher maneuvered around two defenders about 10 yards from the goal and cracked a high, right-footed shot inside the right post from the top-right corner of the six-yard box.

Mutton doubled the lead 2:40 later. Olivia Zubarik '25 took a corner kick that was headed out of the box, but Mutton got to the loose ball first and one-timed a well-placed shot into the top-right corner of the net from about 22 yards out. Abby Mitty (seven saves) leaped and was able to get a glove on Mutton's shot, but it wasn't enough.

Mosher closed out the scoring in the 88th minute. The Continentals forced a turnover near midfield and eventually Leah Basel '24 took possession. Basel threaded a lead pass up to a wide open Mosher on the right side and she dribbled into the box. Mosher unleashed a perfect shot from about 15 yards out that curled around the right post and snuck under the crossbar.
