ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. (Oct. 17, 2012) – The No. 3 LIU Post women's soccer team scored all four of its goals in the first 27 minutes of play as the Pioneers coasted to a 4-0 victory over Molloy College on Wednesday evening in East Coast Conference action.

The Pioneers improve to 13-1-1 overall and remain perfect in conference play with a 7-0 record.   Molloy slips to 4-6-1 and 2-4-1 in conference play. 

The visiting Pioneers wasted little time in getting on the board as Alexa Niciforo (East Islip, N.Y.) took a pass from Prudence Rydstrom (Islip, N.Y.) and slotted a shot inside the left post from just under 18-yards out at the 3:23 mark. 

Two minutes later, Niciforo crossed a ball into the box and freshman Hanna Westerling (Alvadalen, Sweden) headed into the top left corner for a 2-0 lead.

Westerling then had a hand in the third goal in the 19th minute as she passed the ball to freshman Susanne Vistnes (Randaberg, Norway), who blasted a long shot from 25-yards out into the top right corner for a 3-0 lead.

Vistnes rounded out the scoring with her second goal of the game when she took a long ball from the back line, controlled it and beat a defender and the Molloy keeper for a 4-0 lead.

The Pioneers controlled the game from start to finish with a 13-6 scoring edge and 5-2 advantage in corners.  Senior goalkeeper Nicole Fierro (East Hampton, N.Y.) made two saves in the shutout, while Nicole DellaPorta took the loss for the Lions with two saves.
