Union, N.J. (10/19/08) - Junior Brittany Gibbs (West Deptford, N.J.) recorded two goals on her way to a new KU single season record to propel the Cougars to a 3-0 victory over visiting Rhodes College Sunday afternoon at Kean Alumni Stadium. With her two goals, Gibbs has tallied 21 for the season, breaking the mark previously set by Patrice DiFabio of 20 set in 1973.

The win improves the Cougars to 12-2 overall this fall while the loss drops Rhodes to 8-4.

After taking a penalty corner, Gibbs touched in the game's first goal off a shot from senior Katie McGee (Cherry Hill, N.J.) in the 10th minute. Less than a minute later, Gibbs recorded her second of the afternoon of an assist from freshman Olivia Triano (Keyport, N.J.). The score would remain that way through the break before sophomore Erica Kelly (West Deptford, N.J.) closed out the scoring with a goal at 56:18.

Sophomore Ashlie Berghold (Boyertown, Pa.) had two saves in her third shutout of the season. For the Lynx, backup keeper Valerie Clarke (Clarendon Hills, Ill.) had one save.
