LE MOYNE FALLS TO BENTLEY, 2-1
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – A Le Moyne comeback attempt fell short as
Bentley scored a 2-1 road win in Northeast-10 women’s soccer
action at the Thomas J. Niland Athletic Complex. The Dolphins (5-2,
2-2 NE-10) dip to .500 in conference play while the Falcons (5-1-1,
2-0-1 NE-10) remain unbeaten in the Northeast-10 Conference.
Jocelyn Jankowski netted her first goal of the season with a
second-half score for Le Moyne.
Despite holding a 20-6 advantage in shots, the Dolphins’
offensive pressure could not translate into goals. Bentley scored
20 minutes into the match as Leah Leavitt connected on a Cheryl
Boyd corner kick. The pair teamed up again 10 minutes into the
second half as Boyd sent in a second-chance opportunity off of an
initial shot from Leavitt.
Jankowski provided Le Moyne’s offense with just less than 30
minutes remaining, booming a Courtney Paddock corner kick into the
back of the net. The Dolphins held a 10-3 shot advantage in the
final half but Kara Smith turned away 11 shots for the Falcons.
Amanda Abbatiello collected two saves for Le Moyne.
Le Moyne hits the road for four of their next five conference
games. The Dolphins travel to Pace University for a 4 p.m. affair
on Wednesday. They return to the Thomas J. Niland Athletic Complex
to host No. 4 Bryant on September 25.
