Spartans' Comeback Bid Falls Short Against Skidmore

CASTLETON, Vt. – The Vermont State University Castleton women's soccer team hosted Skidmore College Wednesday evening for a nonconference matchup at Dave Wolk Stadium, falling 3-1 to the Thoroughbreds.

The Basics:
  • Final Score: 3-1 Skidmore
  • Location: Castleton, Vt.  | Dave Wolk Stadium
  • Records: 5-4-2 Skidmore | 2-10 VTSU Castleton

How it Happened:
Skidmore took an early lead after a foul in the box resulted in a penalty kick, giving the Thoroughbreds a 1-0 advantage.

The Spartans responded when Skidmore was unable to clear a back pass, allowing Emma Kirby to intercept the ball and score into the open net to even the game at one.

The Thoroughbreds scored twice in the second half to extend their lead to 3-1, which held through the final whistle.

By the Numbers:
  • Julie Cooper and Ella Hall each played 45 minutes in goal and recorded nine saves apiece.
