MARCY, N.Y. (October 16, 2021) - The SUNY Delhi women's soccer team opened with three rapid goals on their NAC host SUNY Poly Saturday to fuel a 6-1 rain-soaked league victory. Micayla Slattery earned two goals and one each from Kelsey Innes, Alivia Cordero, Dayana Garcia, and Alexa DuBois to put the Broncos at 8-5 overall and 6-1 in the NAC to lead the NAC West.

Delhi's first three scores came within four minutes and change. Slattery opened the afternoon scoring with a goal in the 20th minute assisted by Olivia Curry. Innes got on the board one minute later off a feed from Cordero, then Slattery's second score in the 24th minute. The Wildcats snuck in a score before halftime in the 42nd minute, but it would be all that was allowed from the combined performances of Rachael Scoones and Andraya Hunt. Scoones gathered six saves in 72-and-a-half minutes of work before Hunt filled out the rest of the time with two saves. Scoones earned the win to improve to 7-5 on the season.

The Broncos matched their first-half goal total in the second, albeit with different names leading the charge. Cordero restored the team's three-goal lead in the 63rd minute, followed by another rapid score from team-leading scorer Alexa DuBois just over one minute later. Garcia capped off the goals on the day with hers in the 77th minute from an Innes assist. Saturday's high-scoring win marked Delhi's first multi-goal game in October after four matches in the month that produced a pair of 1-0 victories. 

Slattery's two-goal day, plus her game-winning penalty kick score last week at Thomas, thrusted her to third on the team in scoring with 11 points on five goals. DuBois' totals have risen to 24 points on 11 goals, good for second in the NAC. Innes is second on Delhi with 16 points on six goals, with Cordero and Garcia each having three goals, while Cordero's three assists putting her at nine points.

Head coach Zach Ward's team sits atop the NAC West standings with one more league regular-season game to play at home with SUNY Canton Saturday, Oct. 23. Delhi has one non-conference matchup this week, traveling to Bard on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.
