HAVERFORD, Pa. – Isabelle Bariso scored four minutes into the second half and added one more in the 64th to help the Dickinson women’s soccer team stay unbeaten in Centennial Conference action with a 2-0 win over Haverford College at Swan Field on Saturday afternoon.
First Half
The Dickinson attack was on full display early with Isabelle Bariso, Anna Bitsko, Mckenna Gross and Ivana Vukas combing for eight shots in the opening 25 minutes forcing four saves from Allie Billups.
Over the ensuing ten minutes neither side could find much in the attacking end of the pitch. Until, both Joelle Ma and Bariso tested Billups with 40 minutes off the clock.
Second Half
Dickinson needed just over four minutes to finally find the back of the net as Bitsko rang the crossbar, before she collected the loose ball and found Bariso for the finish.
Off the ensuing kickoff the Fords went in search of an equalizer, but Pico Gray shutdown both Ali Dorrego and Clare Hawley.
Billups continued to be busy turning away the combination of Amber Liu and Gross as the match entered the final half hour.
However, in the 64th it would become 2-0 when Ma had her shot denied by Billups. Fortunately, the ball kicked right back to her and she was able to find Bariso for her second.
Gray stopped both Cate Dugan and Mia Peifer in the final 15 minutes, while Billups shutdown Maddie Egan and Ava Prisco to end the match.
