SUNY COBLESKILL WOMENS SOCCER FALLS TO MORRISVILLE STATE 1-0 IN SEASON OPENER

Morrisville, N.Y.: The SUNY Cobleskill women’s soccer team took to the road on Thursday night to open the 2022 campaign by dropping a 1-0 decision to the host Mustangs of Morrisville State College in non-league action. With the defeat the Fighting Tigers open the year at 0-1 while the Mustangs start off the season at 1-0. 

Trailing 1-0 with less than 10 seconds left to play the Fighting Tigers teed up a free kick from 25-yards out which lofted high into the Mustangs goalie box where first-year midfielder Shealinn Stevens’, Otego, N.Y., Otego High School, header hit the far post and a subsequent Cobleskill follow-up opportunity was smothered by the Mustangs to secure the victory. 

While the Fighting Tiger offense was limited to only a pair of shot opportunities on the night, the defense turned in a solid effort highlighted by first year goalie Brianna Rogers, Canton, N.Y., Hugh C. Williams High School, who made eight saves on the evening.  

The Fighting Tigers will next be in action on Sunday September 4 when they make the trip to Aurora, N.Y. for a non-league contest versus the Express of Wells College starting at 1:00 p.m.
