Box Score
EDINBORO, PA – The Edinboro University
women’s soccer team snapped a two-match losing streak on
Wednesday with a 2-0 win over visiting Salem International. The
Fighting Scots evened their record at 5-5-0 while Salem
International dropped to 2-8.
The two goals represented the most since a 4-0
win over Millersville on September 1, the third match of the
season. But the Fighting Scots had numerous scoring opportunities
and failed to score, in part due to the brilliant play of
goalkeeper Jess Jones. Edinboro dominated in shots, taking 43
compared to just one for the Lady Tigers. Jones recorded 17 saves.
Lisa Bartolowits (Pittsburgh, PA/ Shaler Area) picked up
her third shutout in goal for the Fighting Scots.
After failing to score on its first 18 shots,
Edinboro finally found the net as Mary Grebenc (Strongsville,
OH/Strongsville) scored her second goal of the season on a
short shot from the left side of the net at 39:07. Janelle
Layton (Johnstown, PA/Richland) and Ashley Jones (Erie,
PA/Fairview) picked up assists on the goal. Layton fed Jones
from the top of the box, with Jones’ touch pass finding
Grebenc open in front of the net. Jones was the PSAC West Rookie
of the Year while playing sweeper a year ago, but in an attempt to
pick up the attack she saw considerable action in the midfield.
The Fighting Scots scored an insurance goal at
the 84:17 mark. Freshman Maria Dembrow (Lockport, NY/Lockport)
found Angie de Almeida (Gibsonia, PA/Pine-Richland)
with a long pass from the right side, with de Almeida redirecting
the ball into the net.
The goal was the eighth of the season for de
Almeida, who returned recently after missing three matches with an
injury. Dembrow has a team-high 6 assists.
Edinboro returns to action on Tuesday, October
3, hosting Slippery Rock in a PSAC West match.
