SUNY COBLESKILL WOMENS SOCCER BLANKED AT UMPI 3-0 IN NAC ACTION

Presque Isle, Maine: The SUNY Cobleskill women’s soccer team made the trek north on Saturday afternoon traveling to the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) to drop a 3-0 decision to the host Owls in North Atlantic Conference (NAC) action. With the loss the Fighting Tigers drop to 1-4-2 overall on the year including a 0-1-1 mark in league action while UMPI’s record stands currently at 2-2-3 overall including a 1-2 record in conference play.  

Playing with winds in excess of 25 miles-per-hour, the Cobleskill defense struggled in the first half allowing Owls three goals in over a seven-minute span from the 26th minute to the 33rd minute to decide the issue.  

From that point on the contest turned into a defensive battle that saw Cobleskill hold the home team’s offense in check turning back eight shot attempts and a pair of corner kicks. 

First-year goalkeeper Brianne Rodgers, Canton, N.Y., Hugh C. Williams High School, recorded five saves for the visitors on the afternoon.  

The Fighting Tigers will close out their weekend conference road trip when they travel to Bangor, Maine for a conference meeting with the Eagles of Husson University with kick-off slated for 2:30 p.m.
