TOWSON, MD — "Hat tricks" by Alex Bauernschub (Baltimore, MD/Maryvale Prep) and Dee Moser (Stroudsburg, PA/Stroudsburg) propelled Goucher to a 9-0 triumph over Gallaudet today that improved the Gophers' seeding in the upcoming Capital Athletic Conference championship tournament.

With the win, the Gophers (3-12-1, 1-6 CAC) secured the No. 7 seed and will play second-seeded Catholic in the opening round of the tournament this Saturday.

Katie Miller (Dover, DE/Caesar Rodney) had a hand in five of Goucher's nine goals, including the first three. She picked up an assist on a goal by Moser at 16:04, tallied a goal of her own at 17:26 and was awarded another assist on the first of Bauernschub's three goals at 19:34.

Miller knocked in her second goal of the contest at 77:00 to move into a tie with Alison Healy (1998-2000) for second place in career goals at Goucher. It was the senior's team-leading ninth goal of the season and 34th of her career with the Gophers.

Bauernschub put the Gophers up 4-0 with her second goal at 27:40 and then completed her hat trick with 1:08 remaining in the first half.

Moser, who didn't score a single goal in the first 15 games of the season, notched her second at 34:11 and third at 59:10.

Ellie Taylor (Bethesda, MD/Walt Whitman) and Ali Philippides (West Simsbury, CT/Kingswood-Oxford) were both awarded a pair of assists in the victory, plus Philippides achieved the first goal of her collegiate career in the final minute of the contest.
