SCSU Women's Soccer Falls To AIC, 2-1

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Southern Connecticut State women's soccer controlled possession and the shot chart but dropped a 2-1 Northeast 10 Conference decision to American International College at Jess Dow Field. With the loss, Southern dropped to 6-3-2 overall and 2-2-0 in NE10 play while AIC improved to 6-5-0 overall and 2-3-0 in conference action.

Elizabeth Bishop scored her team-leading sixth goal of the season for the Owls, who outshot AIC 22-7 and held a 7-2 advantage in corner kicks. AIC made its chances count, getting the winner with less than 10 minutes remaining.

The Yellow Jackets struck first at 10:03. Liz Braz netted her fifth goal of the season unassisted to give AIC an early 1-0 lead, one of just two shots for AIC in the first half.

Southern Connecticut responded with sustained pressure. The Owls put 13 shots up in the first half alone, forcing four saves from AIC goalkeeper Hedda Haukland.

At 36:26, the breakthrough came. Maya Tellier set up Bishop to level the match at 1-1 heading into halftime. It was Bishop's sixth goal of the season, capping a first half in which she recorded four shots. Tellier was credited with the assist, her first of the season.

SCSU continued to push after the break. The Owls finished with nine more shots in the second half, with Bishop adding four more attempts to finish with a game-high eight shots, three on goal. Frida Norret added five shots, Julia Salley had five shots with two on goal, and Bella LaPerle, Gracie Sanders, Ryleigh Phillips and Saga Mottonen each added shots.

AIC took the lead at the 80:50 mark. Braz turned provider, setting up Flavia Taveri for her first goal of the season to put AIC ahead 2-1.

Southern Connecticut pressed for an equalizer in the final nine minutes, with Salley and Norret both firing shots in the 82nd minute and Norret adding one more high at 87:28 following a yellow card on AIC's Nicole Kelly at 87:25. The Owls earned a final corner at 85:07 but could not find the equalizer.

Makenzi Pastreck played all 90 minutes in goal for SCSU, making three saves on five shots on goal and allowing two goals.

SCSU's defensive effort limited AIC to seven total shots, but AIC finished efficient with five on target. Jocelyn Wilson led AIC with four shots, three on goal, while Braz finished with a goal and an assist on two shots.

The Owls finished with advantages in shots (22-7), shots on goal (7-5) and corners (7-2), while committing seven fouls to AIC's five. SCSU was flagged offside three times to AIC's one.

Southern is back in action on Friday, Oct. 9 when it hosts Bentley at 7 p.m. at Jess Dow Field.
