SU Women’s Soccer Falls to Misericordia at Home, 4-1
SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Susquehanna University’s
sophomore defender Tara Brancato (Selinsgrove,
Pa./Selinsgrove Area) scored her first career goal on a
header off a corner kick, but SU dropped a 4-1 decision to
Misericordia University at Sassafras Fields on Sept. 11.
Brancato jumped above a number of defenders to
head in the corner from fellow sophomore defender Megan
Stevens (Pipersville, Pa./Palisades) with just under 12
minutes remaining in the first half.
Crusaders sophomore midfielder Kelly Bassett (Westwood,
N.J./Pascack Valley) had an opportunity to add another
goal for SU (1-3 overall) with the Misericordia (4-0 overall)
goalkeeper out of position, but an alert play by a Cougar defender
stopped the shot from reaching the net.
SU’s freshman Rachel Norbuts (Woodstown,
N.J./Woodstown) suffered the loss in all 90 minutes of
play but made numerous diving saves throughout the game. The
first two shots Norbuts faced in the game, she had to lie out for.
She also made a jumping save that hit off the crossbar late in the
contest.
Next Game: Wednesday, Sept. 15, vs. Neumann University,
4:30 p.m.
