ROCHESTER, NY – The No. 2 seed RIT women's soccer (12-4-2) team fell to No. 3 seed St. Lawrence (13-3-2), 3-1 in the semifinal of 2015 Liberty League Women's Soccer Tournament on sun-drenched Tiger Stadium Wednesday afternoon. The Saints, who snapped a 1-1 tie with goals 1:21 late in the second half, advance to the championship game where they will face No. 1 seed William Smith in Geneva, N.Y. on Saturday.

Kelly Rogers (Ardmore, PA/Haverford) took the loss for RIT, making four saves. Samantha Rock scored a pair of second half goals for the Saints.

St. Lawrence came out rolling in the first half, out-shooting RIT 17-2 in the opening half, while scoring the game's first goal. The Saints took a 1-0 lead in the 29th minute when Emily DePoy tallied in front off an assist from Katie Stames. Stames sent in a service from the end line. DePoy was making the center run and one-timed her shot passed a diving Rogers giving the Saints a 1-0 lead.

The Saints kept coming in the opening half, generating several great chances, but a few timely saves from Rogers and a couple misfires from St. Lawrence in prime scoring areas kept the game 1-0 heading into the break.

RIT responded well early in the second half, seizing the momentum back. Courtney Hunt (Brockport, NY/Brockport) had a chance with about 30 minutes to play when she tried catching West off her line with a shot from 30 yards out. West was able to get back and make the save.

The Tigers tied the game in the 65th minute when freshman Danielle Lasquadro scored off assists from Anka Parzych (Niskayuna, NY/Niskayuna) and Emily Shoemaker (Rochester, NY/Greece Athena). Shoemaker sent in a long throw into the St. Lawrence penalty area. The ball dropped to Parzych who got around her defender and centered a pass to Losquadro. Losquadro scored with a long shot from 18 yards out that stayed on line beat West into the top right corner for her second goal of the season.

With RIT putting the pressure on, St, Lawrence would answer, with Rock scoring twice within a span of 1:21 to stun the RIT faithful.  Rock gave the Saints a 2-1 lead on her goal in the 75th minute off an assist from Amy Reunert. Reunert fired a 25-yard cross-field service into the RIT penalty area that Rock headed past Rogers. Rock struck once again off a free kick from DePoy to put the game away with just over 14 minutes left in regulation.

RIT awaits a possible at-large bid to the NCAA Division III Women's Soccer Championship. The field will be announced on Monday, Nov. 9.
