Box Score

WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Army West Point women's soccer team battled to a scoreless draw against Colgate in its Patriot League home opener Saturday afternoon at Malek Stadium at Clinton Field.

The Black Knights remain undefeated at home with a 1-0-3 record and moved to 1-0-1 in league play. Colgate moved to 4-2-3 on the season after having its three-match winning streak snapped by the Cadets.

The Raiders outshot Army 16-9 in the contest, including a 7-2 edge in shots on goal. Senior Kayleigh Stallings led the Black Knights with three shots, while rookie Kalie Rosenberger was the only other Army player with multiple shots with two. Sophomore goalkeeper Sydney Cassalia got back on track with a seven-save shutout for her seventh of the season.

HOW IT HAPPENED
First Half

Momentum shifted between the two sides through the first 45 minutes with Colgate maintaining a 7-3 edge in shots.
Army's best chance of the half came when the ball deflected back to senior Kayleigh Stallings whose shot from 30-yards out rose above the crossbar.

Second Half

The Black Knights went on the offensive to begin the second half, generating a chance in the 51^st minute when Sarah Chamberlin fed a pass up to Stallings who dropped it for Rosenberger. The rookie from St. Louis, Mo., fired a shot from just outside the box that ricocheted off a Colgate defender and out of harm's way.
Sophomore Morgan Walsh provided the home side with the best scoring opportunity by either side 10 minutes later when she headed an Erynn Johns cross past the Raiders' goalkeeper but clanged off the crossbar to keep the home side off the board.

Overtime

Both Army and Colgate managed to record a shot in the first extra time period, although neither team was able to hit the target.
The Black Knights clawed their way to a good look in the 97^th minute when Chamberlin lobbed a ball forward down the right side for rookie Trinity Garay who sent a cross into the box, but Colgate's back line was able to send the ball out of danger.
The visitors added two more shots in the final overtime period, including one on goal, but were unable to crack Cassalia and the Black Knights.
