WASHINGTON, Pa. -- The Washington & Jefferson women's soccer team did not allow a shot in the second half of its 2-0 Presidents' Athletic Conference victory over Bethany on Wednesday, Oct. 24, at Alexandre Stadium.Â
The win gives the Presidents an 8-7-2 overall record and a 5-2-0 mark in the PAC. W&J is firmly in third in the conference standings with 15 league points, three points up on the next closest team. If the Red & Black can secure a win or a tie in their final regular-season game on Saturday, Oct 24, they will clinch a spot in the PAC Tournament.Â
Brianna Floryshak (Berwick, Pa./Berwick Area) scored today's first goal in the 10th minute.
Caitlin Drahushak (DuBois, Pa./DuBois) sent a pass to Floryshak in the middle of the box, when she turned and beat the goalie high. Floryshak's goal is her second of the year.Â
Marcy Saldivar (Darlington, Pa./Blackhawk) also scored her second goal of the year, with hers sealing tonight's match in the 63rd minute. Saldivar gained control of a loose ball in the box and took advantage of the keeper being out of position. Â
The Presidents defense was ruthless tonight, allowing the Bison to record just three shots in the game, none in the second half. W&J, on the other hand, registered 19 shots, seven on goal.Â
Floryshak led all players with six shots, while Saldivar tallied four.
Courtney Finney (Canonsburg, Pa./Canon-McMillan) recorded two shots to round out W&J's players with multiple attempts.Â
Shayla Watkins (Charleroi, Pa./Charleroi) posted a complete-game shutout, her fourth of the year, with one save in 90 minutes. The rookie keeper has recorded a shutout in her last two matches and has not allowed a goal in her previous 235:25 of action.Â
The Presidents wrap up the 2018 regular season on Saturday, Oct. 27, with a road 1 p.m. match against Waynesburg.
