Gapczynski's Goals Lifts Soccer Past Slippery Rock, 2-1
Slippery Rock, Pa. -- The Youngstown State soccer team opened its spring season on Saturday afternoon in a exhibition tournament hosted by Slippery Rock University. The Penguins drew a scoreless tie against Duquesne and finished with a 1-1 tie against Robert Morris. Forward Jordan Gapczynski helped the team beat Slippery Rock, 2-1, with her two scores. YSU wrapped up the weekend with a record of 1-0-2.

Head Coach Anthony James said that he was pleased with the team's effort.

"It was a good way to start the spring season," said James.

James also said that the team created many goal scoring opportunities against Duquesne.

"It was unfortunate to not walk away with the win, but I was impressed with the manner in which they were taking it to Duquesne as the game went along," added James.

Lauren Brennan helped to tie-up the match against Robert Morris after a penalty shot had the team down 1-0. James said the team also had scoring opportunities against Robert Morris, but the Colonials came up with strong defensive stops to keep the score tied.

Gapczynski's goals gave the Penguins the 2-0 advantage over Slippery Rock, before The Rock scored in second half. The Guins defense worked to keep the team out of scoring territory for the remainder of the game and pull out the 2-1 win.

The team will continue the spring season on April 6

at Cleveland State. Along with the Vikings, YSU will also face Bowling Green and Kent State.
