Women's Soccer Outlasts Corsairs

CASTLETON, Vt. – The Vermont State University Castleton women's soccer team took down Little East Conference opponent UMass Dartmouth, 2-1, Saturday afternoon, earning their second conference win at Dave Wolk Stadium this season.

The Basics:

  • Records: 5-6-0 (2-2-0 LEC) Castleton | 3-5-3 (1-2-1 LEC) UMass Dartmouth
How it Happened:

  • In the 36th minute, UMass Dartmouth found the back of the net, taking a 1-0 lead.
  • Julie Cooper made her first career start in goal, finishing the first half with three saves, while the back line made four blocks to keep the Corsairs' offense under control.
  • The Spartans kicked up the tempo in the second half, as Emma Patrissi bounced the ball off a defender and in off a long ball from Caitlin Flaherty to tie the game up at one each in the 61st minute.
  • In the 63rd minute, Maggie McKearin fought to get around her defender and send the ball into the far-left side of the net off a pass from Chloe Green to give Castleton a 2-0 lead.
