Stumpf Stumps Opposition, Fighting Owls Women’s Soccer Win Four Straight

From the HCC Sports Desk…

NORTH EAST, Md.—The Harford women’s soccer team won its fourth straight and sophomore goalie Jessica Stumpf (Baltimore, Md./Perry Hall) tallied her fourth straight shutout as the Fighting Owls (7-3) downed Cecil, 5-0 on Monday afternoon at Cecil CC.

Stumpf has not allowed a goal in over 380 minutes, with the last coming during the 68th minute of a 2-0 loss to CCBC-Catonsville on Sept. 23.

Freshman Tiffany Runk (Abingdon, Md./Kenwood) tallied her first hat trick with all three goals in the second half.

Sophomore Terry Buontempo (Nottingham, Md./Perry Hall) tallied her second goal in as many games with a penalty kick at the 15:00 mark to give the Owls the 1-0 lead that they would carry into halftime.

Runk’s scoring frenzy began just seven minutes into the second half as she finished a free kick from sophomore Eliza Burk (Perry Hall, Md./Perry Hall) from 10 yards out at the 52:00 mark.

Later in the period, Runk would take a ball from freshman Jessica Spalt (Joppa, Md./Eastern Tech) and fire into the net from the 18 for her second straight goal of the game.

Freshman Kasey Lindecamp (Perryville, Md./Perryville) would break up Runk’s scoring run as she added a goal off sophomore Becca Bazemore’s (Churchville, Md./C. Milton Wright) corner at the 72:00 mark to give Harford a 4-0 lead.

Runk would tally her third and final goal of the game soon after as she headed another Bazemore corner into goal to give Harford the 5-0 win over Cecil.

Stumpf tallied one save in the 90:00, while her counterpart, Tara Bernal, totaled five.

The Fighting Owls will open a two-game homestand beginning on Wednesday with a 6:00 p.m. matchup against Rockville and then a 3:30 p.m. game on Friday versus Frederick.
