Freshman Erin Ewers scored twice and sophomore Brett Tsamasfyros added the first goal of her career to lead the Colorado College women's soccer team to a weekend sweep of Patriot League teams with a 3-1 victory over Army Sunday afternoon at Stewart Field.
 
The Tigers improved to 3-1 this season, while Army fell to 1-2-1.
 
The match was stopped twice due to lightning, the first a 1 hour, 45 minute delay after the teams played just over nine minutes. Following the restart, 15 minutes was played before another 30-minute delay.
 
Nearly 10 minutes after the second restart, Army's Keira Vesy put the Black Knights on the board with a 40-yard free kick that cleared CC goalkeeper Ally Wakeman's arms and just under the crossbar.
 
Less than two minutes later, in the 38^th minute, Ewers evened the score with the first tally of her career. Emily Hitt took a free kick from the right side that an Army defender headed back towards the goal line. Army keeper Sage Strohman tried to corral the ball to avoid a corner kick, but it popped loose and Ewers was right there with an open net.
 
Just like she did during CC's 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Bucknell on Friday, Tiger head coach Keri Sanchez made a move in net at halftime as Zahra Cheeseman replaced Wakeman (one save).
 
Tsamasfyros put the Tigers ahead for good with her first career goal in the 55^th minute. She took a pass in the middle of the field from Gracie Huebner and fired a rocket from 30 yards out that cleanly beat Strohman into the upper right corner of the net.
 
Ewers scored an insurance goal in the 85^th minute. Risser sent a corner kick to the far post that Haley Williams headed across the box and Ewers finished it from the right side. Williams collected her team-high third assist this season.
 
Ewers led all players with three shots on goal as the Tigers held an 11-5 advantage during the match. Williams, Tsamasfyros and Shalom Prince each had a pair of shots on target. Cheesman made three saves in the second half, while Strohman had eight for Army
 
The Tigers continue their four-match homestand on Thursday, Sept. 1, against Southeast Missouri State, beginning at 6 p.m., at Stewart Field.
