Women's Soccer Downs Iona On Senior Night

POUGHKEEPSIE, New York – The Marist women's soccer team bounces back following three straight losses, defeating Iona 3-1 in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference matchup Saturday night under the lights at Tenney Stadium. The Red Foxes improve their record to 6-7-2, (3-3-1 MAAC), while Iona falls to 1-11-2 (0-5-1 MAAC).

SUMMARY
Tonight was senior night for the Red Foxes, and before the game, the team honored their players in the class of 2018. After an uneventful first 15 minutes, sophomore Keri Bradley netted the first goal of the game. The score remained at 1-0 until three minutes into the second half of play, when Mariah Elsenheimer scored for Iona, equalizing the game at one. After a breakaway chance in the 56th minute, freshman Jillian Colucci added her name to the score sheet, breaking the tie. 15 minutes later, senior Paige Jacob got her first goal of the 2017 season, connecting on a Tori Flaherty cross and sending it into the back of the net, making the score 3-1. The game would play out with the score at 3-1 with Marist taking the victory.

QUOTE OF THE GAME
"It's nice to get back in the win column. I thought the seniors had a special night tonight, they put in a great amount of work. We still need to do a lot of things better. We need to make sure we're moving the ball better, switching the point of attack better, and our defense needs to get in shape quicker, but all in all, we got the three points." -Gene Smith
