WILKES WOMEN'S SOCCER STORMS BACK TO TAKE 2-1 WIN OVER UMASS BOSTON

SCHENECTADY, NY – After falling behind 1-0 early in the first half, Wilkes University rallied to tie the game seven minutes later and take the lead late in the second half to take a 2-1 victory over UMASS Boston Friday night in game two of the Union College Classic.

Wilkes moves to 2-1 on the year following the win.

Trailing 1-0 early in the first half, Wilkes managed to tie the game when Micaela Oliverio (Carlisle, PA/Trinity) scored off a long pass from Sarah Wasley (Whitehall, PA/Whitehall) blasting a shot past the keeper to the left side.

The teams went to the half tied at 1-1 with UMASS Boston holding an 8-3 advantage in shots in the first frame.

The Lady Colonels mustered a few opportunities before Katie Hughes (New Tripoli, PA/Northwestern Lehigh) sent home the game-winner with a low shot from inside the box 15 yards out thanks to a feed from Brittany Gurreri (Dallastown, PA/Dallastown) and Megan Binder (North Babylon, NY/North Babylon ).

Alyssa Young (West Babylon, NY/West Babylon) recorded the win in net for Wilkes making three saves.

Wilkes concludes play at the Classic tomorrow with a matchup against host Union College at 1:00 p.m.
