Seidman and Villemaire Continue Excellent Play, Lead Women's Soccer to 2-0 Win

PLATTSBURGH, NY - Allison Seidman (Commack, NY/Commack) and Kirsten Villemaire (Plattsburgh, NY/Beekmantown) each scored goals, with Villemaire adding an assist as well, as the two continued excellent play as of late, defeating Oswego State 2-0 on Saturday afternoon. Seidman now has three goals in her last three games, while Villemaire now has two goals and three assists in the last three games. 

The Cardinals picked up a much-needed win in conference play, adding three points to their total in the SUNYAC standings They now have seven points in conference play, sitting at 7-4-1 overall and 2-3-1 in the SUNYAC. The Lakers fall to 7-4-2 and 2-2-1, as they also have seven points in the standings, matched by Potsdam as well as Plattsburgh. New Paltz, Cortland, Geneseo, and Brockport all sit ahead of the three times tied at seven points. 

The Cards were aggressive and strong all day on both sides of the field, producing opportunity after opportunity at net, while also playing excellent defensively. Overall, the team was able to produce 17 shots on the day, putting eight on goal, testing the Oswego keeper for all 90 minutes. 

Seidman posted her fifth goal of the year, off of a Villemiare cross in the 17th minute. After a goal kick was intercepted by Villemaire on the Oswego side of the field, the graduate student dribbled into the right corner and sent a ball directly in front of the goal, where Seidman redirected the ball with her mid-section into the net. The goal was Seidman's fifth of the season, tops on the team, and tied for fourth in the conference. 

Leading 1-0 for the next 50 minutes, Plattsburgh put the proverbial "nail in the coffin" in the 68th minute, when Villemaire once again intercepted a kick intended to clear the ball from Oswego's defensive side. Working with an open field, the Plattsburgh native dribbled around several Laker defenders, getting the ball with open space to her left foot in the box, and finished for her fourth goal of the year. Villemaire has had a part in the last five goals assisting on three of them and scoring two. 

Lauren Haley (LaGrange, NY/Arlington) picked up her fifth shutout of the year, as she now moves to 5-1-1 on the year in goal. The sophomore also added three saves, as she now has a minuscule .53 goals-against average on the year. 

Plattsburgh now has a matchup with #5 William Smith tomorrow, Oct. 9 at 2 p.m., as the group will be tested on a back-to-back against one of the best teams in the country.
