Hosting the annual Blue Devil Classic tournament this weekend, the women’s soccer team fell short in a tough loss to Penn State Behrend by a score of 3-2. Fredonia’s two goals were made by junior Alexis Moreland, in the 17th and 31st minutes that gave the Blue Devils a 2-1 lead. Kendall Owczarzak, a freshman, had seven saves to help Fredonia out, while Behrend only had three.
In Saturday’s rainy game against Grove City, the Blue Devils were defeated by a score of 3-2, but not without putting up a fight in overtime. Moreland scored her sixth goal of the season while junior Maggie Papia scored her first-ever collegiate goal. Owczarzak had eight saves in net. The scoring began in the 43rd minute by Moreland, following by Papia who scored a game-tying goal. Weather conditions played against both teams making the ball hard to handle and the field slippery. Fredonia wore teal jerseys this weekend on their Cancer Awareness Day to honor ovarian cancer. The women play William Smith this Tuesday, Sept. 15 at home with a 7 p.m. kickoff time.
