The Rhinos opened the year with 3 points on Wednesday as they put in a solid performance over the course of 80 minutes. Despite early chances on the counter by Sacred Heart, Taft enjoyed the majority of possession and attacking play through the first half. The Rhinos opened the scoring in the 16th minute with an unassisted effort from Faith Graziano ‘24. She doubled her tally on the day just over 10 minutes later following a layoff from Renata Mercedes ‘25. Taft added another goal by Susanna Adams ‘22 assisted by Maria Cortina Fernandez ‘23, before Graziano ‘24 completed her first half hat trick in the 33rd minute of play. Sacred Heart got on the board two minutes prior to half time, stunting some of the Rhinos first half momentum. Sacred Heart continued to press the issue following the restart and took advantage of a defensive error to bring the game within two goals. Taft answered nearly immediately on the following kickoff. Caroline Messer ‘22 was fouled before Precious Novidzro ‘23 scored her first goal of the season on the ensuing direct free kick. Novidzro ‘23 again added her name to the scoresheet in the 57th minute after Graziano ‘24 played her through one on one with the goalkeeper. Susanna Adams ‘24 rounded out the scoring on the day for the Rhinos in the ‘75 minute with a great solo effort from distance.
