Columbia Tops Marist 3-0

Lions score three times in second half

The Marist Women’s Soccer team fell on the road to Columbia Tuesday night, 3-0. The Lions used three second half goals to top the Foxes, who fell to 4-12-1 on the season. The teams played a scoreless first half, as the Foxes out shot the Lions 5-4 in the frame. The Lions, however, would explode for three scores in the second half.

Sophie Reiser opened the scoring for the Lions at 46:53 when she finished a cross from Lindsey Knowles and Aubrey Medal for the eventual game winner. Columbia would add two more tallies as Jenny Brandt scored off a ball from Medal at 60:26, before Medal scored a goal of her own off a free kick from Drew Effler at 69:19. Medal finished with four points on the night, with a goal and two helpers.

Marist’s Anna Case (Plattsburgh, N.Y.) got the start in goal and made one save in the first half. Caitlin Nazarechuk (Ringwood, N.J.) came on in the second half and made two stops for the Foxes. Columbia keeper Rebecca Taylor was only forced to make one save on the night in earning the shutout.

Columbia held the advantage in shots in the game 13-7, as well as in corner kicks at 3-2. Fouls in the contest were 10-9 against Columbia. Marist will wrap up the regular season on Friday night when it hosts Siena on senior night. Kick-off at Leonidoff Field is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
