Box Score Rochester, N.Y. - The Queens College
women's soccer team fell to Roberts Wesleyan College, 1-0, in
a game played in Rochester, New York on Sunday. With the
loss, the team falls to 1-1 in the East Coast Conference.
In a stark contrast to Saturday's win, Sunday's game
saw the Red Hawks come out firing and the Knights playing defense,
as Roberts Wesleyan managed three shots on goal in the first
quarter hour of action. Mersina Onesto turned aside all three
of those shots to keep the game scoreless, but she wouldn't
be so lucky in the 30th minute.
Following a Queens foul, and on a free kick, Brittany Foster
hooked up with Briana Tata who beat Onesto over the wall and inside
the right post; putting the Red Hawks ahead, 1-0. The game
entered the half with Roberts Wesleyan up, 1-0.
The Knights pushed the ball forward in the second half as Erika
Riera had a scoring chance just two minutes into the half.
Twenty minutes later, it was Bridget Gleason who had a shot on
goal, but she was denied also. Kristina Ikonomou and Rebecca
Laporte also had shots on goal in the second half, but the game
ended in a 1-0 win for Roberts Wesleyan.
The Queens College women's soccer team returns to action
on Thursday, September 26, when they host Felician. The
kickoff for that game is slated for 4:00 PM.
