Women's Soccer Falls To Navy In The Star Match
October 31, 2014 | Women's Soccer
The loss snapped Army's five-match Patriot League unbeaten string as the Black Knights (7-8-3) closed out conference play with a 4-2-3 mark. The Midshipmen moved to 11-3-5 overall and 6-1-2 in the league.
Army held a slim 5-4 corner kick advantage, but the Midshipmen led 23-5 in shots. Army keeper Jordan Cassalia finished with eight saves, to include denying Navy's Morgan Dankanich on a penalty kick early in the second half.
Navy's Caprice Kelty opened the scoring in the 26th minute on an unassisted goal when she connected on a loose ball inside the six yard line. MacAdam, who booted a game-high five shots, scored 10 minutes later as the Midshipmen took a 2-0 halftime lead.
Shortly after Cassalia pulled up with a save on the penalty kick, Meghan Hegarty padded Navy's lead when she connected on a 15-yard shot in the 50th minute.
Navy pulled ahead 13-11-2 in the series with the last six games even at 3-3-0.
Navy finished the Patriot League regular season with 20 points, and first place in the standings prior to Saturday's final matches. Colgate has 19 points (6-1-1) and Boston University 17 (5-12) with one game remaining. The Raiders take on last place American, and the Terriers face Bucknell.
