Women’s Soccer Late Push Falls Short in 2-1 Loss at Assumption

WORCESTER, Mass. –  The Holy Family University women's soccer team made a late push in attempt for an equalizer at Assumption on Sunday afternoon, but it never came in an eventual 2-1 loss to the Greyhounds. 
 
After falling behind 2-1 in the 50th minute, the Tigers registered 13 of the game's final 15 shots, including one final effort on frame by Jacqueline Ziegler (Feasterville, Pa./Neshaminy) with 44 seconds remaining. 
 
Brynn Hess (Benton, Pa./Benton) cancelled out Assumption's 18th minute opener in exceptional fashion, as her shot from outside the top of the box flew into the upper left corner to tie the score at 1-1 in the 29th minute. 
 
Inside the Box Score
  • Holy Family outshot Assumption 14-4 in the second half, registering more shots on goal (5) in the 45 minutes than the Greyhounds had in the game (4)
  • The Tigers doubled up Assumption in shots, 20-10, for the game, with nine on target
  • Aside from Hess, who had four, Ziegler had triple the amount of shots of any other player with six 
    • Ziegler had four shots over the final 13:16
    • The two both had two shots on frame

  • Mel Prinos (Langhorne, Pa./Neshaminy) had the only other shot on target in the half in the 39th
