Downs Rival Frostburg 1-0, Now 7-0 in AMCC
The Penn
State Behrend women's soccer took the field Saturday, October 13 to
take on the visiting Frostburg State Bobcats (11-2-1) in a classic
rivalry battle. These two teams have a history have hard
battled games with memorable endings. It seemed only right to
be honoring the women's four seniors on this day as well.
The first half was a back and fourth battle from the start, with both teams seeing ample scoring opportunities. Halfway through the first half defender Katie Ritchey (Butler/Butler) had a great opportunity from 30 yards out. The ball began to curve towards the goal and hit the post, nearly missing the goal. The half ended tied at zero.
The second half brought more of the same from these two battling teams. Frostburg looked like they were going to strike first, but goalkeeper Kayla Frost (Venetia/Peters Township) made back to back remarkable saves to keep the score 0-0. Then in the 52nd minute Behrend was awarded a corner kick that was taken by Caitlyn Elser (Cranberry/Seneca Valley). As the ball was flighted, midfielder Kim Chapman (Cranberry/Seneca Valley) made a back post run and connected with the ball. Frostburg's goalie attempted the save but was too late. This would be the only goal the Behrend Lions needed to defeat their rivals. The women went on to win 1-0.
Goalkeeper Kayla Frost recorded the shutout for the
day, making four saves. The Behrend Lions are now 8-5-2 and
remain undefeated in AMCC play with a 7-0 record.
The blue and white will have a short break until Wednesday, October 17 as
they travel to Hilbert and take on the Hawks at 4:00 p.m.
