Quarrell, Lupenec Post Game Video

DETROIT (8/20/2012) -- Junior Kaitlyn Quarrell scored three goals in a span of 10:57 in the second half as the University of Detroit Mercy women's soccer team (1-1) found its offensive swagger with a 4-0 win over Canisius (0-2) on Monday afternoon at Titan Field. It was the first career hat trick for Quarrell and her third career multi-goal game.
 
“Overall I'm happy with the performance,” said head coach Mike Lupenec.
 
“I think at the beginning of the game, we struggled with Canisius playing a 3-4-3 in regards to which girls defensively were picking up certain players on their team. After we got adapted after 20 minutes, we slowed the game down and created a lot of scoring opportunities in the first half and then took over the second half.”
 
The Titans came out with a 7-2 shooting advantage in the first half and upped it to a 19-5 total outshooting the Golden Griffins 12-3 in the second frame.
 
She netted her first at 56:04 taking a long cross from Mary Leone on the right side of the field. Quarrell was on the left side of the six-yard box and tapped it in. Her second came as she found a loose ball just inside the 18-yard frame and fired it into the upper right corner of the net for goal number two. Her final tally came at the 67:01 mark as newcomer Haley Burtraw cut towards the net on the left goal line and made a great pass to Quarrell in front of the net who made no mistake.
 
“We played well together as a team and definitely our preseason [work] was shown off in this game,” said Quarrell.
 
Senior Janae Paveglio added the fourth Titan goal on the day as she headed in a cross from Jennifer Borawski. Borawski played the ball from the right side into the middle of the 18-yard box and Paveglio put it in making it 4-0 Detroit.
 
Junior Nora Abolins made three saves in goal for the Titans capturing her first shutout of the season.

With the 4-0 win over Canisius, head coach Mike Lupenec now has 175 career victories as a head coach, all with the Titans. Lupenec remains the only head coach the women's soccer team at Detroit has ever seen in this now the 20th season of UDM women's soccer.
