Albertus Magnus Rallies Past Women's Soccer

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Two strikes just six minutes apart in the second half of play repped a rally for the Albertus Magnus Falcons' women's soccer team (1-0-1) over the Wentworth Institute of Technology (0-2) by a 2-1 score Sunday afternoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

• After her initial shot was saved three minutes earlier, Madelyn Seder put the Leopards on the board at the 12:18 mark as a stretch pass from Bryce Bateman found her streaking down the left side of the field.
• After the Falcons picked up two corner kicks in the first dash of play in the second half, a sliding effort by Ava Murphy in a scrum out front off of a corner kick gave the Falcons the tying score at the 64:31 mark.
• An outlet pass right to the box found the foot of Julia Tsakonas, who found the twine just over six minutes later, giving the hosts a 2-1 edge.
• The Leopards managed two shots in the final ten minutes in an attempt to tie the contest, with both shots failing to beat goalkeeper Amy Stevens. Stevens made four saves in the win while Shyla Kulesza made five stops for the Black & Gold. The Falcons owned tight edges in shots (9-8) and corner kicks (3-2).

 SERIES NOTES:

• Today marked the third all-time meeting between the two teams.

NEXT UP:

• Wentworth travels to MCLA Wednesday night.
