Women's
Soccer Battles Through Heartbreaking Loss 2-1
The
Behrend Women's Soccer team hosted the Grove City Wolverines Thursday,
September 20 at the Behrend Fields.
The blue and white came out playing tough and hard,
controlling most of the first half. The women had a number of
opportunities in start, out shooting the Wolverines 16 to 6 in the
half, but could not find the back of the net.
Then four minutes into the second half forward Emily Ostlund
(Minnetonka, MN/Hopkins) scored an unassisted goal to give Grove
City a 1-0 lead. Twelve minutes later midfielder Jaclyn
Stottlemyer (Charleroi/Charleroi) juked two defenders and shot
one right past the keeper to even the score at 1-1 a piece.
Late in the second half, a Behrend foul gave the Wolverines a free
kick 10 yards outside the box. As the kick was taken, bodies
scrambled and fought to get to the ball, but in the end forward
Michelle Peck (Abingdon, MD/Bel Air) found ball first, scoring the
game winning goal for Grove City.
The Behrend Lions out shot Grove City 24 to 10. Goal keeper
Kayla Frost (Venetia/Peters Township) had four saves for the day.
