Staten Island, NY – The Wagner women's soccer team had multiple promising scoring opportunities throughout the game, but was unable to get past the Central Connecticut Blue Devils, as it fell 1-0 on Friday night at Hameline Field.
.
The Seahawks' first chance of the game came 16 minutes into the contest, when senior
Jessica Mouradian (Baldwin, NY / Baldwin) beat her defender to the ball, but her shot from six yards out was deflected for a corner kick. The visitors took the lead ten minutes later on a goal by Carla Jackson.
In the second period, the Green and White fired off two quick attempts, but Mouradian and fellow senior
Sydney McNutt (Hatboro, PA / Hatboro-Horsham) missed high. 63 minutes into the game, senior defender
Amber Coca (Rivervier, FL / Bloomingdale) had the best opportunity to tie the game for the Seahawks, but her shot from 20 yards away sailed just wide of the top right corner. The Blue Devils defended their lead in the last 30 minutes of the game and denied the Wagner offense, despite allowing eight shots in the second half.
Mouradian, McNutt and freshman
Maria Nunez (East Greenwich, RI / East Greenwich) led the team with three shots, while freshman
Christine Letendre (Staten Island, NY / Notre Dame Academy) and sophomore
