No. 21 MIT Celebrates Senior Day With a 4-0 Win Over Coast Guard

THE BASICS:
 
- Score: No. 21 MIT - 4, Coast Guard - 0
 
- Records: MIT (13-4-2, 7-1-1 NEWMAC), Coast Guard (5-8-2, 2-5-1)
 
- Location: Cambridge, Mass. (Roberts Field)
 
- The Lead: Behind two goals from graduate student Karenna Groff (Weston, Mass.) the 21st-ranked MIT women's soccer team defeated Coast Guard, 4-0 on Senior Day on Saturday afternoon.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
- The Engineers looked to strike early and often in the first half with 11 shots in the first 45-minutes of play. Junior Meagan Rowlett (Dana Point, Calif.) had the best opportunity in the 24th minute, but her shot rang off the post.
 
- Groff broke the scoreless tie a few minutes later when she took the ball into the box and tucked the shot into the corner of the goal at 28:39.
 
- MIT wasted no time in making it a two-score game as Groff sent a pass into the front of the net for Rowlett who put the ball into the corner at 47:24.
 
- Groff and Rowlett connected for the third Engineer goal of the game at 60:15, but this time Rowlett set up Groff for the score with a cross-field pass.
 
- Senior Ceci Muñoz (Maplewood, N.J.) made a great effort to get by the Bears' defense and put a shot into the corner of the goal at 87:00.
 
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
 
- Before the match, the Engineers honored their senior class which includes: Muñoz, Gillikin, Castle, Reese Alley, Emma Rutherford, Kaitlin Zareno, Brigette Wang, and Stephanie Howe.
 
- Groff's two goals increase her season total to eight and her career total to 49, just three shy of the MIT career goal record of 52.
 
- Rowlett now leads the Engineers with nine goals and shares the team lead in points with Groff with 19. Muñoz now has four goals this season.
 
- Seniors Lauren Castle (Ridgefield, N.J.) and Ava Gillikin (Flemington, N.J.) split time in goal for the Engineers. Castle (8-1-1) made two stops in goal and Gillikin made one save.
 
- The Engineers held a commanding advantage in shots (27-4) and shots on goal (12-3).
 
- Coast Guard earned four corner kicks while the Engineers earned two.
