Box Score Madison, N.J. -Lindsay Aleman of The Catholic University of America advanced her scoring streak to nine games, netting two on Saturday against Drew University while helping guide the Cardinals to a 6-0 victory.
Three additional Cardinals notched goals throughout the Landmark Conference shutout. Junior Nia Gomez started off the Catholic scoring with back-to-back first half goals.

Following the break, Aleman took a turn at back-to-back goals. She completed the first in the 58th minutes, beating the Ranger's defense and taking a clear shot. Less than two minutes later Gomez fed Aleman the ball to advance the Cardinal score to 4-0.
During the 68th minute, freshman Daniella Montesano booted a long through ball to the foot of senior Jennifer Delasco. Delasco ripped the pass into the net for Catholic's fifth score of the event.
With less than five minutes remaining, freshman Elizabeth Johnson beat two Drew defenders for an open solo shot, lifting the Cardinals to a 6-0 shutout.
