SCRANTON, Pa. – The Lackawanna College Women's Soccer team is back in action on Wednesday 10/6 when the Falcons travel to Corning, NY to take on the SUNY Corning CC Red Barons at 3:00pm.
 
About The Falcons
Lackawanna College (0-5-0) comes into the game still in search of their first win on the year, but coming oh so close to finding it on Saturday 10/2 at Hagerstown CC. In that game, the Falcons, after falling behind 1-0, scored two goals in a seven-minute stretch in the first half to make it 2-1. The goals came from Rachel Apsley in the 28^th minute, and a Jada Tha free-kick in the 35^th minute. The Falcons held the lead for nearly forty minutes of action, but the Hawks from Hagerstown scored the equalizer in the 75^th minute, and then got the game-winner in the 79^th minute, to make it 3-2.
 
The veterans Apsley and Ashley Bruno are tied for the team-lead with two goals apiece on the year, while Tha became the third Falcon to score this year with her free-kick against Hagerstown CC.
 
Sophia Andreoli is mainly the keeper, but she played in the midfield against Hagerstown due to some injuries for the Falcons. Sophia has 35 saves so far this season. Emily Cherubini has seen time in between the sticks for the Falcons this year, and had 12 saves against Hagerstown CC.
 
The Falcons are led by first-year head coach Megan Tweedy, a Lakeland HS product and former Lackawanna College soccer player. Megan was a multi-sport athlete in her time at Lackawanna College, and has spent time coaching both AAU and HS soccer locally in NEPA.
