NEWBURGH, N.Y. - The Neumann University women's soccer team dropped a non-conference matchup on the road at Mount Saint Mary College on Saturday afternoon by a score of 3-1.
Â
Anna Attardi scored the Knights lone goal of the contest off an assist from
Taylor Garman.
Brittany Cullison was solid in net, making eight saves in the loss.
Â
Mount Saint Mary would get off to a quick start, jumping out to an early 1-0 lead just 7:50 into the game off a header on a free kick. The remainder of the half would be played evenly, but the hosts would find a second goal in the 32nd minute to take a 2-0 lead into halftime.
Â
Neumann's hopes for a second half comeback took a big hit just 1:38 after halftime, as Mount Saint Mary scored again to take a 3-0 lead. Despite the deficit, Neumann fought hard to get back into the game and the team was rewarded with a goal from Attardi in the 54th minute. Unfortunately, that would be as close as the team would get as Mount Saint Mary held on to the 3-1 win.
Â
Neumann (1-4-1) is back on the field next Wednesday, September 27th when it plays host to conference rival Immaculata University. Game-time is scheduled for 4:00 PM.
