ROCHESTER, NY – The RIT women’s soccer team (0-2-0) fell to the College of Wooster by a score of 2-1 in the Rachel Miller Memorial Tournament consolation on a cold and damp Sunday morning at the RIT Turf Field.

 

Wooster opened the scoring in the 31^st minute, as Alice Bauman took a pass from Erin Lustic inside the penalty box and struck a low shot inside the right post for her first tally of the season.

 

The Fighting Scots out-shot the Tigers 8-4 over the first 45 minutes of play. 

 

RIT came out determined to get the equalizer in the second half and did just that in the 41^st minute.  Kristen Denninger (Rochester, NY/Nazareth Academy) (Rochester, NY/Nazareth Academy) corralled a loose ball just to the side of the Wooster net and found Alaina Chorney (Manalapan, NJ/Manalapan) (Manalapan, NJ/Manalapan) whose shot glanced off Stacy Alario and into the net.

 

Unfortunately for the Tigers, Wooster grabbed the lead right back two minutes later, as Lustic’s shot from 25-yards out eluded RIT goalkeeper Heather Moe (Chesapeake Beach, MD/Calvert) (Chesapeake Beach, MD/Calvert) to give the Fighting Scots a 2-1 advantage.

 

Moe made a great save on Winnie Adrien to keep it 2-1 Wooster in the 60^th minute.

 

Erica Main (Chittenango, NY/Chittenango) (Chittenango, NY/Chittenango) had RIT’s best late chance, as she rattled one off the crossbar from about 30-yards out with a little over 26 minutes left.

 

Wooster out-shot RIT 13-9.

 

RIT is back in action on Tuesday, as they travel to Buffalo State to play the Bengals at 4 p.m.

 

Maria Iaizzo’s goal, her second in two days, misway through the second half vaulted #19 Wisconsin-Eau Claire to a 1-0 win over SUNY Cortland in the Rachel Miller Championship.

 

Iaizzo collected a pass from Kristi Olson just outside the penalty area, spun and ripped a bending shot past a diving Megan Thayer and just inside the left goal post.
