MORRISVILLE, N.Y. (September 20, 2018) – The SUNY Delhi women's soccer team strutted out of Morrisville State Wednesday evening still undefeated. After a scoreless first half, the Broncos swung the momentum their way to the tune of three second-half scores for a 3-0 shutout of the Mustangs. Head coach Lauren Mackay's team stands at 7-0 on the season.
Delhi began the contest on the offensive, amassing a 16-3 lead in shots through the first 45 minutes. Mustang keeper Lydia Young, however, answered with ten of her 14 saves to keep the match scoreless at the half. Team-leading scorer Katie Herba stepped up for the Broncos' first score in the 52nd minute with a penalty kick goal. The Broncos held on to their one-goal lead for just over 20 minutes until freshman Kelsey Innes scored in minute 74 to give the team some insurance. With the match winding down, Devin Baratto sealed the win by scoring her second goal of the year from Samantha Friedman in the 88th minute.
Goalkeeper Rachael Scoones totaled five saves, including two to preserve Delhi's one-goal lead in the second half, as she improved to 3-0 on the year in goal. The freshman also notched her second shutout. The Broncos finished with a 25-9 lead in shots and an 11-1 advantage in corner kicks.
Herba bumped her scoring total to 20 points on eight goals and four assists, while Innes now has 19 points on eight goals and three assists. Both lead the team in goals and are tied for first on the ACAA leaderboard in goals.
Coach Mackay and the Broncos have ten days to prepare for their next contest, a home meeting with Green Mountain on Saturday, Sept. 29 at 1:00 p.m.
