Nyack, NY (September 17, 2012) – The Knights women's
soccer team earned a hard-fought 2-1 victory on the road against
the host Nyack Warriors in 2 OT to move to 4-1-1 in the 2012
season.
Queens controlled the early going, created good goal-scoring
opportunities for forwards Janine Guerra and Nicolette Scrozzo,
neither of whom was able to capitalize. Nyack picked up some
momentum halfway through the first half but were stopped by solid
play from Knights defensemen Lisa Cassata and Bernadette Wyndham.
The game remained 0-0 at half-time.
The Nyack Warriors would untie things at 62:17 in the
2nd half with a goal by Stacey Cervantes from inside the
box. The Knights knotted things up with less than ten minutes
remaining when senior Sarah Boucher put a rebound off the post into
the net to tie the game up. With the game tied 1-1 at the end of
regulation, the teams headed into OT.
Though neither team scored in the first OT, Nicolette Scrozzo
sealed the deal for QC in the second when she rounded the keeper
and slid the ball home to secure the Knights victory.
The Knights will play again on Wednsday, September 19 at
Bridgeport.
