A Quick Look
The SUNY Oneonta women's soccer team fell at home to Wilkes University today 1-0 in its regular season finale.  The Colonels scored its goal in the 33^rd minute of the match and made it stick enroute to the shutout.
 
The Inside Story
Wilkes (7-7-1) capitalized on a loose ball inside the box for its lone score.  Tatiana Mancera collected the loose ball and fired a shot to the lower left corner past a diving keeper.  It was Mancera's second goal of the season.
 
Oneonta (6-9-3) did have some scoring chances in the second half but were unable to punch one home.  Senior Christina Kornfeld (Mount Sinai/Miller Place) broke behind the defense and got off a high shot that the Wilkes keeper pushed over the crossbar.  Freshman Kelsey Smith (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa) had a chance in the 73^rd minute that was stopped.  The Red Dragons had one last flurry in front of the goal in the 78^th minute but had one shot blocked and one shot saved, and another shot go wide on a corner kick.
 
Just the Stats
Oneonta finished the contest with a 14-11 advantage in shots and a 5-2 edge in corner kicks.  Both teams played two keepers in the match with the Wilkes's tandem compiling four saves and the Oneonta duo of Claire Lepper (Poland/Poland) and Celeste Trevellini (Queens/World Journalism Prep) combining to make six saves.
