STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Continuing to be a common theme this season, the Delaware State University women’s soccer team struggled with their offense Sunday afternoon in a 2-0 loss to Wagner College.

After scoring three goals on just six shots on Friday night at Rider, the Hornets were held scoreless on 12 shots, with four on goal.  Junior Jeanette Salgado (Bergenfield, N.J.) recorded four shots for Del State, with one on goal.  Fellow junior Theresa Wappett (Queensbury, N.Y.) and sophomore Kaitlyn Schech (Abingdon, Md.) each collected two goals on the afternoon, each having one on goal.

Freshman Katelyn Koslosky (East Islip, N.Y.) tallied four saves and allowed just two goals. 

“Our defense continues to play spectacularly,” commented DSU head coach Nitan Soni.  “Offensively, we need to work as a team in order to get the shots and goals that we want.”

For the seventh time this season, the Hornets held their opponent scoreless in the first period of play.

Coming out of the gates at halftime, Wagner’s Jackie Nicholas put the Seahawks on the board with a give and go shot on the left side with assists from Julie Vigliotti and Monica Zurich in the 49^th minute.  Less than ten minutes later, Nicholas netted Wagner’s second goal of the day to give the Seahawks a 2-0 lead in the 58^th minute.

Wagner outshot DSU, 21-21, including 13 shots in the first period.

The Hornets open Great West Conference play at home on Thursday as they host the University of North Dakota at 7 p.m. for the first time in school history.
