Women's Soccer Falls to Fredonia 2-1

October 26, 2011

ROCHESTER, NY -- The RIT (8-8-0) women's soccer had their four-game winning streak snapped with a 2-1 loss to Fredonia State (11-7-0) on a cold and rainy afternoon at RIT Field on Tuesday. The Tigers led up until the 85th minute, but the Blue Devils struck for a pair of goals in a minute sixteen span to hand the Tigers their first loss in five games.

After a scoreless first half, senior Kimi Sisti (Horseheads, NY/Horseheads) gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead with her first goal of the season. Jackie Jacobson (Westlake, CA/Westlake) carried the ball through the midfield and fed Sisti with a nice pass out to the flank. Sisti cut the ball back around her defender and broke in on Fredonia keeper Kayleigh Forger, firing a hard shot that just tucked inside the near post giving the Tigers the lead.

RIT nearly took a 2-0 lead in the 70th minute on a nice run by Rachael Bromson (Suffield, CT/Suffield) and Jacobson. Bromson broke around her defender out on the right flank and broke down the sideline. Jacobson was making a good hard run down the center and narrowly missed a cross by Bromson that would have given the Tigers a two-goal advantage.

Kristi Putzig tied the game at 1-1 in the 85th minute. She gathered in a loosed ball inside the RIT penalty area and fired a shot that beat RIT goalie Ashley Valenti (Honeoye Falls, NY/Honeoye Falls-Lima) cleanly.

A minute sixteen later, Reilly Condidorio gave the Blue Devils a 2-1 lead scoring off an assist from Katie Klein. Condidorio flicked a shot passed Valenti off a nice service from Kleine that gave the Blue Devils their first lead of the game.

RIT tried to answer right back when Sisti broke free, but her shot just missed the post, going wide.

RIT out shot Fredonia 19-15 and had four corner kicks to two for Fredonia. Valenti took the loss for RIT allowing two goals and maing five saves. Forger picked up the win making 11 saves.

The Tigers round out the regular season on Saturday, Oct. 29 when they travelt No. 11 Ithaca College for a 12 pm start.
