Natalie Brady scored the game-wining goal against Eastern Kentucky off a pass from Mariah Snyder.

    Head Coach Anthony James felt the game against Cincinnati taught the team many lessons.

    "I was very pleased with how well we competed against such an excellent coached team," he said. "We did a very good job of handling their pressure throughout the game and it will only serve as a confidence booster in the future."

    James also gave Cincinnati's goalkeeper much credit.
    "If wasn't for some impressive saves by their keeper we could have tied the game up on a few occasion."

    Jenna Fink made an attempt to score late in the second half for the Penguins, but the Bearcats goalie once again pulled out a one-handed save to keep the score at 2-0.

    After only a 45-minute break between games the team was ready for the second match-up against Eastern Kentucky.

    James described the second game as another great learning experience.

    "It was also good to see our team control the tempo for much of the game," James added.

    With the 1-0 win over the Colonels, YSU wraps up the spring season with a record of 3-2-1. The fall season will officially begin on August 31 as the Penguins face Pittsburgh at 7 p.m.
