▪ St. Thomas 3, Florida Memorial 0: The combination of Michelle Bailey and Sarah Thomsson connected twice to pace the scoring as St. Thomas (5-4-1, 1-2) outshot Florida Memorial (1-10-1) by a whopping 33-11 en route to a victory at Bobcat Field.
Andreina Sifontes made a solo attack, dribbling up the center of the field, then finishing with a successful strike on goal to open the scoring and give the Bobcats an early lead with less than five minutes into play. After being inserted into the game as a substitute, Michelle Bailey scored her first of two goals off an assist by Thomsson with 20 minutes to play in the first half. Coming out of halftime with a two-goal lead, Thomsson found Bailey again for the final goal.
Freshman Cristina Garwacki earned the shutout.
