Van Leesten’s three goals power women’s soccer

WATERVILLE, Maine — Aliza Van Leesten (New Haven, Conn.) scored three goals and has five in the last two games to help the Colby College women’s soccer team to a 5-1 non-conference win over Husson University on Tuesday.

The Mules move to 4-6-1 overall heading into Saturday’s home game with Amherst College at 11 a.m. Husson dropped to 5-7-1 overall and will be back in Waterville on Saturday against Thomas College at 3:30 p.m.
 
Van Leesten, who scored two goals against Wesleyan University on Saturday, scored two more in the opening 11:20 of the game. Katherine Gillespie (Arudel, Maine) had the assist with a cross to Van Leesten, who shot the ball and had it deflect off a defender at 5:10. Her second goal was a chip shot over the goalkeeper after a through ball from Emily Martin (Bethesda, Md.)
 
Katrina Holt put the Mules up 3-0 at halftime when she headed in a ball at 28:36.
 
Van Leesten scored her third goal at 53:43 when she ran on to a ball from Catherine Fraser (Orono, Minn.) and had her shot find the corner.
 
Leah Hibbad (Portsmouth, R.I.) put Husson on the scoreboard at 67:09 when she took a pass, found a little dribbling room, and scored to break the shutout.
 
Emily Price (Winchester, Mass.) scored the Mules’ final goal at 85:49 when she tapped in a ball that had been bouncing around in front.
 
The Mules, who had a 26-10 shot advantage, had five saves from goalkeeper Samantha Rizzo (Swampscott, Mass.). Kayla Gordon (Wiscasset, Maine) and Jordyn Hopkins (Limestone, Maine) combined for nine Husson stops.
