STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Felician Women's Soccer entered the new week with a non-conference match-up with the College of Staten Island at the CSI Soccer Complex in a blazing Tuesday afternoon. The Golden Falcons fell behind early to drop 3-0 for an 0-1-2 overall record throughout their first three games.
With temperature reaching a peak of 92 degrees, the officials enforced mandatory water breaks at the 30-minute and 15-minute park during each half.
The Dolphins closed out the first half with a 2-0 lead dominating the offensive side by out shooting the green-and-gold 9-3. At the 71st minute, midway through the second half,
Carlie Koziol (East Rutherford, N.J.) had a penalty kick opportunity in an attempt to avoid a shut out, but the ball was booted high and out of play.
Ultimately, the hosts netted another goal to extend its lead to 3-0 to hand Felician the loss.
Filly Urias (Lubbock, T.X) paced the Golden Falcon offense with two shots while Koziol,
Stephanie Turi (Wood-Ridge, N.J.),
Jalyn Tse (Queens, N.Y.),
Briana Franco (Totowa, N.J.),
Julia Vaas (Rotterdam, Netherlands), and
Nicole Jenal (Bethpage, N.Y.) had one shot apiece.
The Women's Soccer squad will be back on its home turf at Tryon Field for its home opener on Friday to host Texas A&M Intl' at 12:00pm.
