Caltech’s Kannan Extends Perfect Scoring Streak to 20 Games

Senior Soumya Kannan extended her perfect scoring streak with two goals in her 20th game of the season against Division III No. 8 Occidental College on Wednesday afternoon.

Freshman Brittany Percin  followed a pair of early Oxy tallies after a scoreless first two minutes with the Beavers’ first of the game. Kannan notched her first in the second quarter as the Tigers took an 8-2 lead at halftime. Each would net again in the fourth quarter, with Kannan’s coming on a penalty shot that she powered through the outstretched fingertips of the Oxy goalie before the Tigers left with the 16-4 victory.

Kannan added two assists and three steals while freshman Katie Johnston drew three exclusions.

Head Coach Jon Bonafede and the Beavers host DIII No. 4 Chapman University (8-18, 3-4) on Saturday, Apr. 16 at 11:00 a.m. The squad will also be celebrating Senior Day as it bids farewell to the senior trio of Kannan, Alexandra Ilic and Stephanie Wong.
