Five Highlanders Tally Goals in Rousing Season-Opening Win Over Roos

HOUGHTON, NY – The Houghton Highlanders kicked off the 2025 campaign with a rousing, 6-0, victory over the SUNY Canton Roos.  Five Highlanders found the back of the net, while the defense did not allow a single shot.
 
Elena Esh broke the scoreless tie 11:30 into the game off a pass from Taylor Curyto, who would tally three assists on the day.
 
Hope Russell and Gracelyn Williams would add goals for the Highlanders before the end of the half, pushing the Houghton lead to 3-0.
 
In the second half, Sophia Templeton did not wait long to continue the scoring highlights, finding the side netting less than four minutes in.  Grace Russell would follow suit nearly six minutes later, and Hope Russell would tuck a ball inside the post with only six ticks remaining on the clock to close out the scoring.
