Lady Spartan Soccer Continues to Struggle

The Lady Spartans fell to Niagara Community College this afternoon by a score of 6-1. The majority of the game was played in the Spartans defensive end as the ladies were down to 10 due to roster injuries and could not match Niagara's field speed.

"We were forced to chase all afternoon, and when we did win the ball, it was tough to create an offensive push, with only 9 field players. With that said, Niagara was the better team and did a better job of winning the 50/50 balls, as well as the possession game," said Coach Renaud. "Madison (Robillard) continued her consistent play on the field, and it was nice to see Libby (Henry) record her first assist on the year, as she works hard 90 minutes of every match. Danielle Mayville made some spectacular saves in goal for us and Madison Wedyck continues to improve as the season progresses. Hopefully we will get our injured players back on the field in time for our next contest, so we can provide a little more competition and get our first win of the season," continued Renaud.
