Syracuse, N.Y. (Oct. 15, 2010) – Rutgers women’s soccer allowed a goal in the 86thminute, falling to Syracuse, 1-0, Friday night at SU Soccer Stadium. The Scarlet Knights were led by captain Karla Schacher (Tofield, Alberta) who notched two shots on the night, including a breakaway opportunity.
RU (8-8, 3-5) took 13 shots to SU’s 14 tallies. Rutgers managed eight shots on goal to Syracuse’s five – including five by RU in the second half – but the Scarlet Knights could not find the back of the net. The Orange (6-7-4, 3-4-1) took one more corner kick.
Redshirt sophomore Emmy Simpkins (Concord, N.C.) and freshman Sam Perretty (Parkland, Fla.) each saw a half of action in net. Perretty made three of the four total saves, but allowed the goal with under four minutes to go.
In a scramble in front of the net after a corner, SU’s Brittany Kinmond corralled the ball and pushed it to Tina Romagnuolo for the lone score of the match.
Schacher broke away from the pack in the 49thminute, earning a one-on-one with SU netminder Brittany Anghel, but sent the shot wide. In the 28thminute, the co-captain notched another opportunity, but Anghel grabbed the save.
Redshirt junior Tricia DiPaolo (Sparta, N.J.) also rocketed off two shots on the night, including one in the 87thminute that was grabbed by Anghel. DiPaolo sent her first shot high in the 56thminute.
The Scarlet Knights stay in New York for a Sunday afternoon match-up against St. John’s. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Belson Stadium.
