Box Score
WORCESTER, Mass. - The Holy Cross women's soccer team tied Army, 1-1, Sunday afternoon on Senior Day, earning an always-important point in league standings. It was each side's first conference game of the year, with the Crusaders moving to 2-2-4 overall and the Black Knights to 3-3-3, as they both start the season 0-0-1 in Patriot League play.
Senior Cassie Cheeseman scored her first collegiate goal in the 36th minute to give the Crusaders the lead. A bouncing ball off a corner found the feet of Cheeseman who was able to squeeze it in between a defender and the Black Knight's goalie into the bottom right corner.
Army would equalize in the 51st minute when Alyssa Carfagno struck one from just inside the 18-yard box that Sophia Lettieri was able to get a hand on, but was hit with too much pace and still found its way in.
The Crusaders would outshoot the Black Knights in overtime, 3-2, but couldn't get a second to go. Their best chance came in the 98th minute when Jenna Barnes found herself one-on-one with Army's net minder. Her shot beat the goalie, but not the crossbar as it deflected back into the 18 and eventually out of danger.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
- The Crusaders outshot the Black Knights, 14-11, and earned more corners, 7-6.
- Cheeseman and freshman Katie Quinn each put three shots on goal for the home team.
- Holy Cross held the majority of the possession at 57%.
- The Crusaders' first conference game this season ends in a draw, after finishing every Patriot League game last year with either a win or loss.
- Their unbeaten streak is extended to six games.
UP NEXT:
Holy Cross will travel to Loyola (Md.) for their second conference matchup of the year next Saturday, Sept. 28.
