Women's Soccer Drops Home Match Against St. Lawrence

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. – The Plattsburgh State women's soccer team got an early goal to go against St. Lawrence, but ended up falling 3-1 to the Saints in non-conference play. Sophia Hatziyianis (Massapequa Park, N.Y./Massapequa) scored the lone goal for the Cardinals in the loss.
 
Hatziyianis registered her score almost immediately, scoring in the 2nd minute, assisted by defender Zoe Rice (Leicester, Mass./Leicester). Lily Bailey (Warwick, N.Y./Warwick Valley) made her first career start in goal and made four saves playing all 90 minutes. 
 
The Cards fall to 3-4-3 with the loss and now look towards a home tilt with league opponent Fredonia on Saturday, Oct. 7 at 1 p.m. The team will also celebrate 10 seniors on Saturday before the start of the game's action. St. Lawrence moves to 4-3-3 with the win and have RIT next on their schedule in a road conference match on Saturday, Oct. 7

The Cardinals put the first ball in the back of the net just before the third minute, as the team earned a corner kick to set up the play. Rice took the corner kick and placed a beautiful ball into the box, where the 5'8" Hatziyianis was able to rise over everyone and place the shot into the back of the goal. The score marked the second of the season for the senior midfielder, a new career high. 
 
From then on, St. Lawrence was able to capitalize on their chances while Plattsburgh was not able to hit the back of the net for a second time.
