Box Score

Aston, Pa. - The Neumann College women's soccer team defeated the College of Notre Dame, 2-0, in their PAC conference opener Wednesday afternoon.  The Knights had a persistent attack all game led by senior Casey Geary (Ocean City, NJ /Ocean City) who helped the Knights get off on the right foot, starting out conference play in perfect style.

In the first half, The Knights brought heavy pressure but could not find the net until 18:59 when Alyssa Collazo (Burlington, NJ/Burlington Township) struck a pass from the right flank and found the left foot of Casey Geary who sent the ball to the back of the net.  Then minutes later, at the 20:14 mark, Geary found herself on the breakaway and slid the ball home in the lower left corner to put the Knights up 2-0.

 

In the second half, both teams played to a deadlock.  Geary came closest to a goal when she shot the ball over the bar on a breakaway midway through the period.  Goalie Caitlin Agnew (Philadelphia, Pa./Little Flower) came up big late in the second half when Sarah McCutcheon shot a low shot but Agnew made a tremendous save.  Agnew made seven stops for the Knights.

 

The Knights will be back in action this Saturday against PAC Opponent Gwynedd-Mercy College in Gwynedd, Pa. at 12:00 p.m.
