Barnouw Leads No. 3 Women's Soccer to NCAA Second Round With 3-1 Win Over SUNY Geneseo

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Senior Natalie Barnouw (Los Angeles, Calif.) scored two goals in the span of 1:30 in the second half to break a 1-1 tie to send the No. 3 MIT women's soccer team to the second round of the 2024 NCAA Women's Soccer Championship as the Engineers defeated SUNY Geneseo, 3-1 on Roberts Field on Saturday afternoon.
 
THE BASICS
  • Score: No. 3 MIT 3, SUNY Geneseo 1
  • Records: MIT (21-1-1 Overall), SUNY Geneseo (13-5-3)
HOW IT HAPPENED: 
  • MIT struck first at 8:51 when Arianna Doss (Houston, Texas) got the ball to senior Ashley English (Sheboygan, Wis.) near midfield. English then sent a long cross-field pass to classmate Meagan Rowlett (Dana Point, Calif.) who went top shelf to the far post to put MIT on the board.
  • The Knights answered quickly when junior Abby Foster (Stony Brook, N.Y.) lifted a shot over the bar over a leaping Maddy Noll (Northbrook, Ill.) at 10:10.
  • Barnouw broke the tie with a looping goal from outside the box that went over the outstretched hands of Emily McLouth (Clarence, N.Y.) at 48:27.
  • Just over a minute later, Barnouw added an insurance goal as she converted on the penalty kick goal that rang off the bottom post and in at 49:57.
  • The Knights put two shots off the crossbar in the half as they looked to even the score, but the Engineer defense held firm for the 3-1 win. 
INSIDE THE NUMBERS: 
  • MIT has advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in each of the last seven seasons.
  • Barnouw increased her team lead in goals to 13 with her third multi-goal game of the season. She has set a new career high in goals and points (30).
  • Rowlett tallied her 10th goal of the season as she has reached double-digits in goals in all four of her seasons. She increased her career point total to 135, which is three shy of tying the program record.
  • Noll earned her 13th win on the season as she turned away one shot. McLouth made a season-high 13 saves and fell to 4-2 on the year.
UP NEXT: 
  • MIT will play Colby at 1:00 PM on Roberts Field, tomorrow, Sunday, November 17 in the NCAA Second Round.
