Box Score Four goals in a span of eight minutes broke a scoreless tie and Salem University fell to Concord University 10-0 in NCAA Division II women's soccer Sunday at Catalano Stadium. Tiger goalkeeper
Chelsea Cordice recorded 10 saves for her second double-digit performance in as many matches. Sunday's contest was the Tigers' home opener.
Â
Salem (0-2) had the first scoring opportunity of the match when
Tamara Queiroz broke free on the left side in the Concord third. Querioz launched a shot from 25 yards out that appeared headed for the upper 90, but went just over the right corner of the goal.
Â
Cordice made five saves in the first 15 minutes, but Concord (2-0) got on the scoreboard and started its scoring burst in the 16th minute. Leah Foster crossed from the left side to Rachel Bell, who scored from just in front of the right post to give the Mountain Lions a 1-0 lead. Bell assisted on Concord's second goal in the 19th minute and added another goal one minute later. Foster capped the flurry in the 24th minute and the Mountain Lions added a late goal to take a 5-0 halftime lead.

Salem's defense kept Concord out of the goal for the first 20 minutes of the second half. Backup goalkeeper
Sydney McPherson challenged for a loose ball and forced a 15-yard shot well over the crossbar. Rose Goddard prevented attacks with a pair of slide tackles 15 seconds apart in the Salem half.

Concord scored three of its five second-half goals in the final 11 minutes of the contest, including two in the final five minutes. Foster and Bell each recorded a hat trick for the Mountain Lions.
