A Quick Look
Playing through a steady rain with bouts of downpours, the SUNY Oneonta women's soccer team came up short today versus Fredonia 1-0.  The loss for the Red Dragons drops them to 1-10-1 overall and 1-5-1 in the SUNYAC while the Blue Devils leave town 9-5-2 overall and 4-2-1 in the conference.
 
The Inside Story
The weather didn't allow for much flow to the match with both teams trying to make the most of the waterlogged field conditions.  The opening half went scoreless with a slight 5-3 shot advantage for the visitors.
 
The lone goal of the game came in the 65^th minute on a direct kick just outside the box.  Senior Sophia Richiusa set up for the kick and, instead of sending a shot in on goal, she sent a pass in that rolled along the ground to the right side of the goal box.  When the ball arrived, there was a cluster of players hoping to gain control of the ball when freshman Katie Sellers beat the keeper to slide the ball over the goal line.
 
Just the Stats
Fredonia added another five shots to its total to finish with 10 while Oneonta recorded four shots for the match, only one in the second half.  Senior Claire Lepper (Poland/Poland) made four stops in goal for Oneonta and Sabrina Suriani recorded a pair of stops to pick up the shutout for the Blue Devils.
