Miami to hit the road and face Wake Forest Thursday, Oct. 1.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – A couple quick goals made the difference Sunday afternoon at Cobb Stadium, as the University of Miami soccer team dropped a 6-0 contest with Notre Dame.

After further discussion, the head official deemed a penalty kick for the Fighting Irish, as Sammi Fisher tallied the opening goal of the match.

Four minutes late, Luisa Delgado connected with Olivia Wingate to give Notre Dame a 2-0 advantage.

In the 19th minute, UM junior goalkeeper Tyler Speaks made an incredible diving save, before corralling another shot by Eva Hurm for two saves in the half.

On her way to a hat trick, Kiki Van Zanten gave the Fighting Irish a 3-0 advantage heading into the break.

Six minutes into the second half, Notre Dame jumped in front 4-0 after Sammi Fisher collected her second of the game.

Moments before a 30-minute weather delay, Van Zantern gave the Fighting Irish a five-goal advantage with 9:31 to play.
