Box Score

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – The Army West Point women's soccer team captured a come-from-behind victory over Hudson Valley rival Marist, 2-1, on the road Wednesday evening.

The win marked head coach Adrian Blewitt's 250th of his 20-year coaching career.

After falling behind 1-0, Army received offensive contributions from rookie Trinity Garay (56th minute) and senior Sarah Chamberlin (85th minute) to push past the Red Foxes and improve to 5-1-4 on the year. The fifth win marks the most by an Army team since 2014, while its 10 goals surpassed last season's total of eight.

Sophomore goalkeeper Sydney Cassalia saw her four-game shutout streak come to an end and capped her scoreless streak at 495:17. The Omaha, Neb., native made two saves in the game and en route to her ninth-career victory.

Offensively, rookie Kalie Rosenberger led a group of five Cadets who recorded multiple shots with a game-high three attempts at goal. Garay led the way with two shots on goal, including her second score of the season, while Chamberlin added her first-career tally in the contest.

HOW IT HAPPENED
First Half

Marist generated one of the premier chances through a balanced opening half after a Kristen Prevosto corner kick was punched away from danger by Sydney Cassalia in the 25th minute.
The Black Knights created a chance of their own late in the half as Kalie Rosenberger fired a shot from 25-yards out that forced Francesca Guzzo to make the diving stop.

Second Half

The Red Foxes broke the scoreless tie in the 48th minute when a cross from Keri Bradley found the head of Jillian Colucci. Her header crept its way across the goal mouth and was put away by Kristen Reilly.
Army found the equalizer from one of its young stars in the 56th minute as a blocked shot from Rosenberger made its way to Garay. The Rahway, N.J., native buried a shot into the twine from 10-yards out past an outstretched Guzzo to tie the game at one apiece.
With time winding down in the second half, Morgan Walsh sent a cross into the center of the box from the right side of the net. After battling with a Marist defender, Johns found a wide open Chamberlin at the top of the six who hit a one-timer with her left to put the visitors ahead with 5:48 remaining.
