 YSU Comes Up Short Against Valparaiso
    Valparaiso, Ind. --  The Youngstown State (1-15) soccer team took four shots on goal against Valparaiso (9-5-1), but could not match the Crusaders offensive efforts making the final score 3-1 in Sunday afternoon's match.
    Valparaiso forward Kendall Brown came up with a quick first score just eight minutes into the game off the assist from Brittany Derksen and Emily King. Brown came back in less than 12 minutes with another score 20 yards out on a left corner kick to put her team up 2-0.
    Kara Vezza, Jenna Fink and Brittny Humphrey each took a shot on goal for YSU, but all three attempts were stopped by goalie Erin Murray. YSU goalie Caitlin Bestard also had four saves for the Penguins.
    A penalty kick in the second half by Valparaiso midfielder Emily King put the Penguins down by three, but the deficit was soon cut back to two with an unassisted score by YSU defender Jenna Fink. With just under five minutes left in the game, YSU did not have any time to make a come back ending the game 3-1.
    The Penguins will be back on the road next Sunday as they travel to Wisconsin to take on UW-Green Bay at 1 p.m.
