Women's Soccer Bested By Fisher in 2022 Home Opener

MEADVILLE, Pa. -- The Allegheny College women's soccer team fought hard on Thursday night at the Blue Turf at the Robertson Athletic Complex, but the visiting Cardinals from St. John Fisher University prevailed by a 3-0 final score.

In the 2022 season opener, the Gators managed to put only one of their three shots on target. Meanwhile, Fisher peppered the cage with a game-high 22 shots and 14 shots on goal. Despite the disparity in offensive production, the Allegheny defense limited the Cardinals to just three goals, one of which came on a second-half penalty shot.

Junior goalkeeper Kari May (Erie, Pa. | McDowell) had a busy night between the posts. With 11 saves, she reached double-digit stops for the third time in her career with the Gators. Perhaps May's finest work came in the 38th minute, when she denied Gwenyth Madden twice in a matter of seconds. Madden raced through the back line and had a great one-on-one opportunity against May, who not only deflected the first attempt, but was then able to snag the second-chance header.

The Gators were only credited with three shots, one of which was saved by St. John Fisher keeper Avery Brynes on a long free kick by Taylor McKindley. Allegheny's best scoring opportunity came in the 73rd minute on a free kick from about 18 yards out. However, Emma Miller's attempt sailed just high over the crossbar.

Inside the Box
  • St. John Fisher had a 22-to-3 lead in shots and a 14-to-1 advantage in shots on goal.
  • Three different scorers logged a goal for the Cardinals.
  • Only four corner kicks were attempted all night, three of which were awarded to Fisher.
  • May made a game-high 11 saves while playing all 90 minutes in goal for the Gators.

News and Notes
  • Thursday's matchup marked the first-ever between Allegheny and St. John Fisher.
  • May's 11 saves are her second-highest single-game total.
  • Emma Milligan (Parkesburg, Pa. | Octorara), Emily Beck (Martinsburg, W.Va. | Martinsburg), and Cara Wood (Lancaster, Ohio | Bloom-Carroll) each made their collegiate debuts against the Cardinals.

Up Next
On Sunday, September 4, the Gators will visit the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio, for a non-conference bout at 1:30 p.m.
