'KEENE, N.H.  9/12/02 - Playing her first home game for the Owls, junior forward Erin Lester (Walpole, N.H.) came off the bench to score three goals and Amy Lamson (Bridgewater, MA.) added a pair of goals to lead the Keene State College women’s soccer team to a 5-0 victory over Clark University in Keene on Thursday.

Keene State remains undefeated with a 3-0-1 record while Clark University (0-3) suffered its third straight loss.

Lester and Lamson scored first half goals for the Owls.  Lester converted a lead pass from Sarah Miller (Walpole, N.H.) for her first goal and Lamson fired in a loose ball in the crease.

It reMEd 2-0 until KSC scored three quick goals in a four-minute span with just over 16 minutes to play.  After tallying her second goal of the game by beating two Clark defenders, Lester got her hat trick goal when she headed in a cross from Jen Ortisi (Allenstown, N.H.).

“I’ve been looking forward to playing in this game for a long time, “ said Lester, who spent the past two years at Southern Connecticut.  “I played in this area for a long time, so it was nice to go out and have a good game.”

It was Lester’s first three goals in a KSC uniform and the first two goals of the year for Lamson.

KSC, which dominated play form the start, outshot the Cougars 31-2.

Michelle Mason (Fairport, N.Y.) with a little help in the closing minutes from Sarah Campbell (Auburn, MA.), who made the lone Owl save, posted the shutout for KSC.

Rebecca Dezan (Kendall Park, N.J.) had a busy night in goal for the Cougars with 15 saves.

KSC is off until a game against Westfield State next Wednesday.
