Women’s Soccer Drops First Road Game at OCC

It was gritty and defensive, as the Lady Spartans took their 1-1 record on the road to face conference rival Onondaga Community College. Cayuga had an excellent chance to go ahead in the first few minutes with a nice pass from Sarah Zakour (Southern Cayuga, NY) to forward Madison Robillard (Fulton, NY) who was in, one on one with the goalie, only to have her shot saved. Onondaga's well organized offense scored two quick goals to set the Lady Spartan chasing the match. Cayuga had another good chance to bring the mach to 2-1, when Martha Caster found herself in on goal as well but the Cayuga opportunity saved by OCC's keeper. Onondaga added a 3^rd goal after a Cayuga defensive breakdown to go 3-0 up before the end of the first half.

Cayuga played much stronger in the 2^nd half and shutout the Lazers of OCC to finish the game with a score line 3-0

Coach Robillard added this about the match, "The Ladies came out a bit sluggish in the first half but I am happy with some of the little things we did well. Captain Brooke Mayville (Wayne, NY) and freshman Haley Lukins (Weedsport, NY) played brilliantly as did Martha Caster (Fulton, NY) and Tiffany Westmiller (Port Byron, NY). We have tons of positive things to build on"

Breanne Becker (Lusby, MD) was busy in goal with 16 saves.

Cayuga play host to Niagara Community College Saturday at Emerson Field at 1:00pm.
