Soccer: St. Francis (Pa.) Beats YSU in Double Overtime, 1-0
Youngstown --
The Penguins soccer team once again
showed up playing strong defense in
Friday afternoon's match against St.
Francis (Pa.) but could not score
again losing 1-0 at Stambaugh
Stadium.
Midfielders Caitlin Lee and Diane Fellabaum each had a shot
on goal as well as defender Keeley
Rice. The Red Flash (5-4-1) also
took a total of seven shots on goal
in regulation, all of which were
stopped by Youngstown State goalie
Jessica Yarter keeping the Penguins'
hopes alive until the final shot of
the game
Despite St. Francis (Pa.) outnumbering YSU in corner kicks
six to one, the game remained
scoreless and was forced into
overtime. YSU (0-9) held the Red
Flash through one sudden-death round
with a save by Yarter as the game
continued into round two.
The second overtime period, and the game, then came to an end
when St. Francis forward Viviane
Villar scored with the assist from
Meghan Pearson at 106:34 into the
game.
The Penguins' best chance to take a lead was on a breakaway
shot by Sade Tate in the first half.
Tate beat a defender and her shot
around the Red Flash keeper, who
came out the cut off the angle,
drifted just past the right post.
Youngstown State will be back in action on Sunday at noon as
they open Horizon League play
against Wright State at home. |
