The woman's soccer team's disappointing season continued this past Sunday as they suffered a tough loss at the hands of Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference foe the Rider Broncos 6-1 at Leonidoff Field.
After making a strong statement against Delaware St. (winning 11-0) a week back, the Red Foxes were looking to re-energize their season and gain some momentum in the coming games. Instead what followed were the two worst losses for the Red Foxes this season to Loyola and then Rider, losing by five goals in each game
"The thing that we learned as a team, is that we must play for 90 minutes," said head coach Sheri Huckleberry. "We came out flat and a little timid."
Tami Coyle scored two quick goals for the Broncos inside the ten-minute mark. Rider scored twice more and had a commanding 4-0 lead at halftime. The Broncos issued a relentless offensive attack throughout the game including 24 shots, 15 on net and six players tabbing at least goal or assist.
After letting up four goals at halftime, Huckleberry switched goaltenders, putting in freshman Liz Herber for sophomore Danielle Cibelli. Herber faced a similar, if not more persistent Bronco attack as 16 of their 24 shots came in that second half. She fared pretty well in damage control saving seven shots while only letting up two goals.
Sophomore Susie Seggel scored a goal for the Red Foxes in the late minutes of the game. She tallied her goal after senior Laura Clark's free shot deflect off the post and into perfect striking range for her.
"Susie offers a lot athletically," said Huckleberry, "Hopefully scoring a goal will give her some confidence for the future."
With a tough schedule ahead, including several MAAC showdowns, the team looks to turnaround their recent skid.
"I look for this team to fight for this MAAC championship," said Huckleberry, "And we have a good chance to start that against in state rival Army next."
