Twelve different players scored as the No. 25-ranked Georgia Gwinnett College women's soccer team defeated Florida National University 12-0 to close out the Continental Athletic Conference Classic on Saturday afternoon at the Grizzly Soccer Complex.

The 12 goals are a season high for the Grizzlies (8-5-3), which outscored the two Classic opponents by a 19-0 margin.

GGC gained control of the match early and had an 8-0 advantage by halftime. Sophomore Christy Noble found the bottom right corner of the net in the fifth minute after getting an assisting pass from senior Grace Clark and sophomore Nova Eskelinen.

Ten minutes later, junior Jade Perrin scored the team's second goal. She also assisted on another goal during the second half.

Later, freshman Barbora Kadlecova found the back of the net when she headed a corner kick from Lorenz in the 19th minute.

The Grizzlies kept up the momentum in the first half when senior Samara Dullabh and freshman Hannah Lorenz found the back of the net just seconds apart in the 21st minute.

Dullabh's goal came when she received a long pass from junior Kayla Maguire across the perimeter and placed the ball into the bottom right hand corner of the net. Lorenz's goal, giving the Grizzlies a 5-0 lead, came following a pass from junior Rikke Steenhold.

Then, freshman Alliyah Rosales found the back of the net in the 26th minute following another pass from Steenhold.

Steenhold along with freshman Kendra Delgado each provided multiple assists to go along with one goal over 90 minutes of action.

Also getting in the scoring act were senior Nicole Mares Rivera and junior Salome Deneubourg. It was the first goal of the season for both players.

Mares Rivera's goal came in the 50th minute when she converted a pass from Perrin to extend the team's lead to 9-0. Deneubourg scored during the 73rd minute when she headed in a corner kick from Eskelinen.
