Eagles Outpaced Against SUNY Brockport

BROCKPORT, N.Y.- The Juniata women's soccer team saw their four-game win streak snapped with a 1-0 defeat on the road to SUNY Brockport on Saturday afternoon. 

The Golden Eagles maintained control of the game, generating 24 shots to Juniata's eight. Cati Besch faced nine shots on target and made eight saves on the day.  

Chance creation for Juniata came from Alyssa Bui (three shots, one shot on goal) and Savanna Murray (two shots, one shot on goal.  

Brockport stormed out of the gate, generating six shots and four corner kicks in the first ten minutes of play, while Juniata could not find a shot until the 18th minute from Camille McRoberts. Juniata found a moment in the middle of the half, with three shots between the 30th and 40th minutes, including the first on goal from Bui in the 38th minute.  

After hitting the crossbar and post within 15 seconds of each other in the 41st minute, Brockport found the game's lone goal two minutes later, as a ball on the left edge of the 18-yard box was crossed on the ground to a player on the edge of the six-yard box, and it was poked past the Juniata keeper into the far post. 

Juniata looked for an equalizer earlier in the second half with a shot on goal from Ashley McWilliams in the 53rd minute and a headed shot from Murray saved in the 55th minute. That wrapped up shooting chances for Juniata, with Brockport managing 12 more shots before the 90 minutes ended.  

The Juniata women's soccer team has a week until its next match, as it opens Landmark Conference competition on the road at Drew University on Saturday, September 23rd, at 3:30 pm. Last season, Murray had the lone Juniata goal in a 2-1 loss in the home finale.
