Ambler, PA- The Wagner College women's soccer team suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Temple University this afternoon at the rainy Temple Sports Complex. Senior
Dominique Bonura (Hasbrouck Heights, NJ/ Immaculate Heart Academy) scored the lone goal for the Seahawks, who move their record to 1-3 for the season.
The Owls (3-1-1) got on the board first when Niki Conn netted a goal from 25 yards out in the 7th minute of play. The Seahawks would possess only one scoring opportunity in the first half when junior
Catherine Del Medico (Park Ridge, IL / Maine South) ripped a shot on goal.
In the second half, the Green & White tied the game at 1-1 on Bonura's goal from 20 yards out in the 80th minute. Assisting Bonura on the play was freshman
Julie Vigliotti (Staten Island, NY/ Notre Dame Academy). Unfortunately for the Seahawks, this goal would not go unanswered as the Owls regained the lead on Niki Conn's chip shot off a deflected ball in the 82nd minute.
The Owls outshot the Seahawks by a 17-8 margin. Junior goalkeeper
Sam Schueschner (Brookfield, CT/ Brookfield) finished with three saves, while her counterpart Gillian Kacsuta had one.
Wagner will return to action Tuesday, September 15 when they travel to Worcester, MA to face Holy Cross. Start time is set for 7:00 PM.
