Pirates Fall On Road At Xavier, 2-0
10/2/2022 3:03:00 PM | Women's Soccer
Cincinnati, Ohio -- Senior goalkeeper Grace Gordon (Chester Springs, Pa.) made multiple acrobatic saves and tallied a career best 14 saves but her efforts wasn't enough as Xavier proved to be too much for the Seton Hall women's soccer team as the Pirates fell to the Musketeers, 2-0, on Sunday afternoon.
How It Happened
Gordon made seven stops in the first half, withstanding significant pressure from the home side through the first 30 minutes of the game. However, the Musketeers broke through in the 31st minute with a goal to take a 1-0 lead.
The Pirates came out more organized after halftime as Caroline Lipton (Alexandria, Va.) put a shot on goal in the 46th minute. In the 51st minute, the Musketeers drew a penalty and converted the penalty kick to take a 2-0 lead. Despite shots on goal by sophomore Rachel Gerrie (Litleton, Colo.) and junior Skyler Matusz (Kearny, N.J.), the Pirates couldn't add a tally of their own as Xaver powered its way to a 2-0 win at home.
News & Notes
Seton Hall returns to Owen T. Carroll Field on Thursday when the Pirates welcome Marquette for a 6 p.m. contest.
