On Wednesday, September 24, the women’s soccer team went up against TCNJ. The match ended in a draw, with each side managing to score one goal before the game came to a close.
The game remained goalless for the first half. Sophomore Alina Friz made an attempt in the 14th minute with an assist from Senior Angela Dinh, but she was blocked by TCNJ goalkeeper Ellen Williams. Two minutes later, Senior Lauren Alley also attempted to score a goal, but was also blocked by the goalkeeper. TCNJ didn’t fare any better during that period, with only one shot being made on-target at Stevens’ goal, which was blocked by the goalkeeper, Senior Kenny Donley.
It looked as if the match might go without any goals at all until the 69th minute, when Stevens’ junior midfielder Molly McCann scored a goal by making an angled shot from the left side of the six-yard box. However, this lead didn’t last very long, as TCNJ fired back with an equalizer goal less than 90 seconds later. This deadlock remained in place for the rest of the game, despite each team getting opportunities to score a second goal in the remaining 20 minutes. The most notable attempt on Stevens’ side was first-year Abby Davis’ attempt to score from 25 yards away from the goal, but missed just high. The game ended in a draw, with a score of 1-1.
The women’s soccer team’s next upcoming game will be against King’s College at 4 p.m. on Saturday, October 4, in Wilkes-Barre, PA.
