Alverno College Athletics - Home of the Inferno

MILWAUKEE -- Sophomore forward Kelsey Kochanowski (Oak Creek, Wis.) tallied five goals and an assist as Alverno College cruised to a 6-0 victory over visiting Mt. Mary College this afternoon at Alverno Field. Kochanowski's 11 points set a new single-game school record, held previously by the program's all-time leading scorer, Ellie LaFond, who had 10 points on two occasions in her career.

"Ellie LaFond graduated after last season and she was our all-time leading scorer," Alverno head coach Brittany Nikolic said, "Someone has to pick up some of those goals, and obviously, so far Kelsey is ready to do that. It was a great start to see her take it on her shoulders and go after it."

Starting off the 2010 season with a bang, Kochanowski scored five-straight goals in the game--which ties the single-game record LaFond set in 2008. She put the Inferno (1-0) on the board early, finding the back of the net in less than eight minutes on an unassisted score.

MILWAUKEE -- In 2009 the Alverno College women's soccer team had a record year. The team set school records for wins, conference wins, scoring and defensive average. The program enters into its 10th season of competition this fall, and with experienced returners and talented newcomers the team looks to surpass last season's school records of 7-12 overall, and 2-9 in the Northern Athletics Conference.

"We want to keep moving forward and build off of what we did last year," second year head coach Brittany Nikolic said. "We'd like to set more records, win more games and win more conference games. We especially want to finish higher in the conference standings, ultimately get into postseason play and see what we can do in the conference tournament."
