Moon Township, Pa. (October 18,
2009)--The Mount St. Mary's women's soccer team had its
three-game win streak snapped in a 1-0 loss at Robert Morris on
Sunday afternoon. The Mount falls to 5-8-2 overall and 3-2-1 in
the NEC with the loss.
The Colonials broke a scoreless tie on a
goal by Ayana Davis in the 78th minute. Davis took a cross
from Holly Sieradzki and poked the ball inside the left post from
12 yards out for the game-winning goal.
The Mount had a great scoring chance in
the 70th minute when Emily Menotti (Dover,
Pa./Dover) got behind the Colonial defense, but her last
touch on the ball when too long, and Robert Morris goalkeeper
Jessica Olin was able to close the gap and block the shot on the
breakaway.
The Mount appeared to have taken the lead
in the 22nd minute a free kick was flicked off a head, behind the
defense, to Menotti, who put the ball in the net. However, Menotti
was offisdes on the play and the goal was waved off.
Robert Morris held a 14-to-10 advantage
in shots in the game. Olin made five saves in the victory while
Alicia Miller (Lititz, Pa./Warwick) made four
saves for the Mount.
Mount St. Mary's returns to action on
Friday, October 23, with a 7:00 p.m. home game against Quinnipiac
at Waldron Family Stadium on campus.
