Women's soccer battles hard against Wilmington in season opener

Yellow Jacket women's comeback comes up just short in 4-3 loss

Box Score

 

WAYNESBURG, Pa. (Sept. 1) – After falling behind by three goals late in the game, Waynesburg staged a furious comeback against Wilmington that came just short of forcing overtime in a 4-3 contest on Wednesday evening.

 

Trailing 4-1 with just over 20 minutes to go in the contest, the Yellow Jackets (0-1) got goals from junior Courtney Ebersole and Danielle Danhires just 22 seconds apart from each other to trim the deficit to 4-3. Waynesburg kept the pressure on with 14 minutes to go in the contest, but couldn't tally a fourth score.

 

Sophomore Heather Davis scored the Jackets' first goal of the game in the first half that tied the game at 1-1. Junior goalkeeper Katrina Kelly worked all 90 minutes in net for Waynesburg and made 10 saves.

 

The Jackets will look for win number one on Friday, Sept. 3, when they take on Ohio Wesleyan in the Defiance Tournament.
