Box Score 9/28/24

DUNMORE, Pa. -- Under immense pressure, Lackawanna College women's soccer did its best to hold on against the relentless attack from Mercer County CC. Ultimately, the Vikings broke through for three second half goals to pull away for the 4-0 defeat of the Falcons on an overcast and cloudy Saturday afternoon at Schautz Stadium.
 
The Falcons (2-2-0) knew they'd be up against it with Mercer (10-1-1) coming in to the contest, and the Vikings were oppressive in their constant possession and pressure on the Lackawanna side of the field. A Vikings goal finally came at about the 28^th minute, but Lackawanna held on to keep it to a 1-0 deficit at the break.
 
In the second, the goals started to come a little faster. A second goal was scored by Mercer at the 56^th minute, and they added a third in the 78^th, and the fourth in the 88^th. Lackawanna had just one shot on target, while the Vikings had 45 shots on the frame. Lindsey Tasker (Clarks Summit, PA) was immense in goal, coming up with 41 saves.
 
The Falcons are back in action next Saturday, October 5^th, when they host the Essex County College Wolverines in Region XIX DII competition. Kickoff is set for 12:00pm ET at Schautz Stadium.
