MARSHALL GOAL NOT ENOUGH, FORDHAM TOPS DSU, 3-1

September 4, 2011

DOVER, Del. – The Fordham University soccer team came out of the gates raring to go and it was too much for Delaware State University to handle as the Hornets fell, 3-1, to the Rams Sunday afternoon at Alumni Stadium.

 

Junior Randall Marshall (Laurel, Md.) scored her first goal of the season in the 57th minute to cut Fordham’s lead to 2-1.  Marshall got the ball about five yards out in the middle of the goal and shot it in past Ram goalie Rachel Suther.

 

Fordham scored first in the ninth minute of the game with a goal from junior Annie Worden.  Freshman Kristina Maksuti found Worden in the middle of the field, who then shot the ball from 25 yards out.

 

Maksuti scored her first career goal and the second for the Rams in the 47th minute while junior Kaitlin Abrams scored in the 69th minute to give Fordham a 3-1 lead.

 

Things got dicey in the 61st minute as DSU freshman Lauren Price (Bayside, N.Y.) got tangled with Maksuti.  Both players, in addition to Hornet junior Jeanette Salgado (Bergenfield, N.J.) and Ram junior Cara Rooney, received red cards on the play.

 

Freshman Katelyn Koslosky (East Islip, N.Y.) had another stellar game for DSU as she collected a career-high nine saves on the afternoon. 

 

The Hornets got off a total of eight shots in the game.  Seven of those came in the second half. 

 

The loss is the fifth of the season for DSU, who move to 0-5-1 on the season while the Rams improve to 2-2-1.

 

The Hornets continue a four-game homestand next Friday as they host Lincoln (Pa.) at 7 p.m. at Alumni Stadium.
