Box Score

Owings Mills, Md. - A goal in each half secured a 2-1 victory for the Stevenson University women's soccer team over St. Mary's College of Maryland Wednesday afternoon in Capital Athletic Conference action.

Stevenson's (4-1-1, 1-0 CAC) first goal was a bit fluky as sophomore goalkeeper Lacey Johnson (Leonardtown, Md./Patuxent) punched at senior midfielder Katie Decker's (White Hall, Md./Hereford) corner kick and the rebound from Johnson's gloves hit off the post into the net for an early 1-0 Mustang lead at 2:48.

Sophomore forward Stephanie Eyler (Thurmont, Md./Catoctin) gave the Mustangs a 2-0 lead at 65:46 when Eyler beat her defender to the right side and fired in a shot past freshman goalkeeper Grace Koplow (Ellicott City, Md./Wilde Lake).

The Seahawks (2-3, 1-1 CAC) avoided the shutout when senior forward Lea Gonzalez (Washington, D.C./Potomac) found the back of the net at 68:52 as Gonzalez took a shot from the left wing after an unsuccessful clear.

Stevenson's goalkeeping tandem of sophomore Brittany Ross (Millersville, Md./Severna Park) and freshman Lauren Weitzman (Westminster, Md./Winters Mills) combined for six saves as each keeper played 45 minutes.  Ross started the contest and notched three stops, while Weitzman gave up the goal.

Johnson came out in the 19th minute following injury, making one save and yielding one goal.  Koplow finished the contest with three saves and one goal against in 71:20.

St. Mary's will return to action this Saturday, September 19 when the Seahawks travel to Farmingdale, N.Y. to take on Farmingdale State College at 2:00 p.m. in a non-conference tilt.
