Box Score

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Senior Danielle MacMurray (Griswold, Conn.) scored her team leading sixth goal of the season, but the Southern Connecticut State University women's soccer team suffered a heartbreaking loss to Le Moyne at the Thomas J. Niland Athletic Complex on Wednesday afternoon. Le Moyne netted the game-winner in the 102nd minute of action, propelling the Dolphins to their fourth overtime win of the campaign.

With the loss, the Owls dropped to 7-7, 4-7 in Northeast-10 Conference competition, while the Dolphins improved to 9-4-2, 6-4-2 in the league.

After 45 minutes of scoreless soccer in the first half, MacMurray and the Owls opened in the scoring just 13:53 into the second period. The senior forward calmly collected a rebound inside the penalty area and buried a shot into the lower right corner of the goal for a 1-0 lead.

However, Le Moyne would answer back with the equalizer a mere 13 minutes later. Jennifer Fabian received a pass from Gabriele Ariola and found the back of the net from 12-yards out, knotting the game up at one.

At the end of regulation, Le Moyne and SCSU were all square at one apiece.

In the second overtime, Fabian played a ball down the left side of the field to Christie Morano who broke through the Owls' defense. Morano placed a shot into the upper right corner of the goal for the emphatic, 2-1 victory in Syracuse, N.Y.

Junior Katie DiDio (Vernon, Conn.) registered 10 saves in the losing effort.

The Owls return to action on Oct. 17 when the team travels to Lowell, Mass. Southern will take on the Riverhawks of UMass-Lowell at 2 p.m.
