Mount St. Mary's Women's Soccer Falls to Bucknell, 2-0

Box Score

Emmitsburg, Md. (September 4, 2015)--The Mount St. Mary's women's soccer team fell to Bucknell, 2-0, in a non-conference matchup at Waldron Family Stadium on Friday night.  Senior goalkeeper Rachel Bourne (Baltimore, Md.) made 10 saves for the Mount in the game.

A scoreless first half featured tremendous diving saves by each team's goalkeeper.  Bourne  kept the Bison off the scoreboard in the 18th minute when she dove to her left on a shot from Sarah Bresette.

Bucknell goalkeeper Jessica Ratner came up with a diving stop of her own in the 40th minute to preserve the scoreless tie.  Mount freshman Kirsten O'Malley (Montoursville, Pa.) sent a header to the lower left corner of the goal, but Ratner was able to keep the ball out of the net with her diving stop.

After a scoreless first 10 minutes of the second half, lightning delayed the game by one hour and 15 minutes.  Bucknell (2-2-1) was able to take control of the game after the delay, taking the lead when Madison Loos collected just outside the box on the left side and sent a perfect shot to the upper right corner in the 62nd minute.

Kendall Ham scored in the 79th minute when she tapped in a cross from Cora Climo to give Bucknell a two-goal cushion.

The Bison held a 25-to-5 advantage in shots and a 10-to-4 edge in corner kicks.  Bourne came away with 10 saves for the Mount while Ratner made two saves for Bucknell.

The Mount returns to action on Sunday with a 1:00 p.m. matchup at Penn.
