September 2, 2009 Thomas Women Draw Level
with UMA
Alumni Field,
Waterville, ME
The Lady Terriers
soccer team put in a solid effort against the Moose of UMA, and ended the
day in 1-1 draw. In this non-conference matchup, the first of the season for
Thomas College, the ladies played host on Alumni Field in Waterville.
Their steady, possessive flow took no time to
get going, as Augusta's goalkeeper saw a total of eighteen shots over the
course of the match, coming up with a total of 17 saves. Sophomore Terissa
Ridge and senior Julia Nyitray led the Lady Terriers with 7 and 4 shots
respectively. Other attacking contributions included: Stephanie Walsh (1
shot on goal), Molly Woodward (1), Jasmine Ryan (1), Jamie Lockett (2), and
Julie Lawrence (3).
Amongst these nineteen shots on goal for Thomas
College, Julia Nyitray came away with the only goal for the home side, and
it came with just over 28 minutes left in the first half of play on a
slow-rolling rebound at the top of the 18-yard box.
After halftime, Thomas came back out on the
field with a one-goal lead and much of the same possessive, attacking
attitude as they did in the first half. Not to be outdone, Augusta kept
junior goalkeeper Jess Nassetta busy, firing off five shots: Jessica St.
Amand (4) and Jessica Taylor (1).
As time ticked off the game clock, the Moose of
UMA answered back as Jessica St. Amand scored an unassisted goal in the 84th
minute of play. After regulation, the score was level at one goal apiece.Through two periods of overtime, the two teams' styles of play proved
to negate one another, and the score remained in a deadlock, bringing
tonight's contest to a level end.
The Lady Terrier's next match is at home on
Alumni Field this Saturday, September 5th, against the University
of Maine at Fort Kent. Kickoff is at 1pm.
