Box Score
NEW HAVEN, CONN. - The Marist women's soccer team (4-6) had its comeback fall short in the non-conference finale at Yale on Tuesday evening. After trailing 3-1 at halftime, senior Lauren Tillotson (Islip, N.Y.) scored her second career goal off a corner kick in the 81st minute, but the Marist rally fell short in the final minutes of the match.
Yale (3-5-1) got out to a 2-0 lead in the first 24:45 of the match behind a pair of goals from Becky Brown. Her first goal came in the 13th off a pass from Kristen Forster. Her first shot was saved by Marist goalkeeper Jamie Balzarini (Holbrook, N.Y.). The second goal was a put back as well. The initial shot went off the post and Brown found the rebound to tap in.
The Red Foxes got on the board in the 27th minute when Samantha Panzner (Livingston, N.J.) received a cross in the box from sophomore Jaclynn Sabia (Wayne, N.J.) in the box. Panzner was all alone to finish in the box.
After a tally by the Bulldogs in the 43rd minute gave Yale a 3-1 lead to take into the locker room, the teams played without a goal for approximately 38 minutes.
Tillotson cut the lead to one goal in the 81st minute after she headed in a corner kick off the foot of Rycke Guiney (Naperville, Ill.). The Red Foxes had two opportunities to tie in the final two minutes of the match, but neither shot found its way to the frame, thus ending in a 3-2 loss for the Red Foxes.
Marist will begin Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) play on Friday, Oct. 1 at 4 p.m. The Red Foxes will continue a three-game road swing at Saint Peter's in the conference opener.
