Knights Blanked By NYU, 2-0

Kakavas makes 14 saves

Newburgh, N.Y. – Making up the originally scheduled season opener that was washed out on September 1, the Mount Saint Mary College Women's Soccer team suffered a 2-0 loss to visiting New York University Monday night. Sophomore Christina Kakavas (Hopewell Junction, N.Y.) finished the night with 14 saves.
 
Monday's los drops Mount Saint Mary to 2-3-2 overall on the season, while the Violets improve to 5-2 on the year.
 
First Half
  • NYU finished the first half with an 11-3 advantage in shots, including a pair of penalty kicks.
  • Corner kicks in the half were even at 2-2.
  • The eventual game winning goal came off the foot of Kelli Keady in the 17th minute. She would streak down the left wing from just inside midfield and tuck a shot inside the near post at 16:15 for all the scoring the Violets would need.
  • The Mount had a chance to even the score when it was awarded a penalty kick in the 29th minute. Brittany Bornstad (Linden, N.J.), however, rang the shot off the bar.

Second Half
