Gryphons Down Women's Soccer, 5-0

PURCHASE, N.Y. – Opening up a five-match home stretch, the Manhattanville University women's soccer team dropped a 5-0 decision to visiting Sarah Lawrence College on Saturday night. The loss drops the Valiants to 3-3-3 overall and 2-2-1 in the Skyline Conference.

A pair of early tallies put the Gryphons in control as Sarah Lawrence found the netting twice in the opening eight minutes. A Viktoria Balbin strike opened up the night two minutes after the opening whistle, while Lily Matalus doubled the Sarah Lawrence advantage at the 7:45 mark.

Despite the early hole, Manhattanville did well to generate their own chances, ultimately outshooting the Gryphons 8-6 in the half. Both teams put four balls on target across the opening 45, but Bella Vaca was able to turn away each shot she faced in the half to preserve the 2-0 lead.

The Gryphons earned more looks in the second, outshooting the Valiants 11-8 and adding a trio of insurance tallies in a three minute span. In the 49th minute, Delaney Julianna finished a feed from Katey Beaver to put the visitors up by three. Beaver continued to serve as the playmaker two minutes later, assisting on a Chloe Barker tally. In the 52nd minute, Barker repaid the favor by setting up Hannah Chaffin for the Gryphons' fifth and final strike of the night.

Macey Girard (Branford, Conn./Branford) did what she could against the onslaught of shots, making a season-high nine saves. The junior keeper now holds a 3-3-3 record with a 1.29 goals-against average on the season.

In all, the Valiants recorded 16 shots in the loss with seven going on goal. Drita Tinaj (Yorktown Heights, N.Y./Yorktown) and Alexandra Brauer (Lake Grove, N.Y./St. John The Baptist Diocesan) fired a team-high four shot attempts each, while Mia Castaneda (Mamaroneck, N.Y./Mamaroneck) led the way with three shots on net. Tinaj, Brauer, Kelly Barrera (Port Chester, N.Y./Port Chester High School) and Stephanie Sanchez (Rye, N.Y./The Masters School) each ended the night with one shot on goal.

Just three total corner kicks were awarded in the game, with two going to the Gryphons and the final to Manhattanville.
