Saratoga Springs, N.Y.-- Skidmore College junior forward Elise Britt (Saratoga Springs, N.Y./Saratoga) scored two goals 14 seconds apart to lead the Thoroughbreds to a 5-0 Liberty League victory over Rensselaer on Friday afternoon.

Kemp scored the final goal at 53:00 when she took a pass from DeLea and made a quick move past RPI goalie Kate Williams (Rome, NY/Holland Patent).
