FIU Women's Soccer Blanks UALR, 3-0

9/24/10

MIAMI – The FIU women’s soccer team won its conference opener on Friday night against UALR, 3-0, kicking off Sun Belt play 1-0 for the first time since 2002. Senior captain Kassandra Sorzano scored the game-winner just before the 4-minute mark.

Freshman Nicole DiPerna notched the first multi-goal game of her career, netting two goals within 19 seconds to shatter a 17-year-old school record for the shortest time to score two goals by an individual. The previous record of 1:03 was held by Sunny Raleigh against St. Thomas on Sept. 18, 1993.

The 3-0 win is the largest margin of victory FIU has achieved in the series since 2003 when the Panthers won 6-2. Up next, FIU hosts Arkansas State on Sunday at 1 p.m.
