8/31/2025 6:47:00 PM | Women's Soccer
MORAGA, Calif. — Saint Mary's concluded their two game home stand, recording a win against Boston University who visited Moraga for the first time in 25 years. The match also marked a historic milestone for goalkeeper Kate Plachy, who recorded her eighth career shutout, moving her into the top-ten all time in program history.
The Gaels played an action packed game with their second consecutive shutout, defeating the Terriers 4-0 to complete a perfect 2-0 weekend. Goals came from across the board as Sydney Middaugh, Ashlyn Vaughn, Briana Salvetti, and Brooklyn Smith all found the back of the net. Middaugh and Smith are tied for the team lead now with two goals each while Schwarze recorded her second assist, leading the team with six points on the season.
FIRST HALF SMC 2 - 0 BU
Saint Mary's wasted little time getting on the board, striking in the 12th minute when Sydney Middaugh finished low to the left corner off assists from Ashlyn Vaughn and Savannah Schwarze.
The Gaels doubled their lead in the 32nd minute, with Ennis and Schwarze combining to set up freshman Ashlyn Vaughn, who scored the first goal of her collegiate career. By the end of the half, the Gaels had taken a total of 10 shots, led by Vaughn with four and Middaugh close behind with three.
FINAL SMC 4 -0 BU
Early in the second half, Boston was awarded a penalty kick, but Plachy came up with a crucial stop against Giulianna Gianino to preserve the shutout.
The Gaels extended their lead in the 74th minute when Briana Salvetti capitalized on a penalty kick, recording her first goal of the season. Brooklyn Smith capped the scoring in the 88th minute, with her second goal as a Gael, assisted by Isabel Lendman and Zoe Maikai.
LOOKING AHEAD
Coming off their two game home stand wins, the Gaels now hold a record of 2-1-1. Saint Mary's will hit the road to face UC Davis on Thursday, September 4th at 7:00 PM. Be sure to follow your Gaels on Facebook, Instagram, and X to get all the latest Saint Mary's athletics updates and information.
