POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y — The Union College women's soccer team opened up the game with a number of opportunities to get on the board, but the Vassar College defense held up and the Dutchwomen fell, 1-0 in overtime, on Saturday afternoon at Gordon Field.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
- The Dutchwomen started off strong, with sophomore forward Fiona Zimmerman sending in a shot that was later blocked, which allowed for a corner kick from classmate Bella Dworkin. The ball later got onto the foot of senior Linsey Giles, whose shot rang off the right post in the seventh minute.
- Vassar also hit the post in the 33rd minute, as the teams went into halftime scoreless with only two shots on goal between the two teams.
- After a scoreless regulation, the Brewers secured the win with a goal from Gabi Tulk in the 96th minute.
- Vassar outshot Union, 16-10 on the day, but the Union defense worked to concede only two shots on goal. Junior goalkeeper Alison Sorkenn made one save and Vassar's Fiona Walsh made three saves.
- With the loss, the Dutchwomen are now 4-4 (.500) on the season, and fall to 0-2 in Liberty League play. Vassar moves to 4-4-1 overall and 1-0 in conference play.
WHAT'S NEXT:
The Dutchwomen will return to College Park Field next Saturday, October 5, to face Rensselaer. Kick off for the Liberty League game is slated for 2 p.m.
