Morrisville Rallies For Win Over Women's Soccer

The Wells College women's soccer team scored in the first five minutes of the match but eventually fell by a 2-1 score to visiting Morrisville State College in a North Eastern Athletic Conference matchup on Saturday, Sept. 30 at the Wells Turf Field. It was the first loss of the year at home for the Express, which had won its previous two home games.

Morrisville State improved to 2-6-0 overall and 2-1-0 in the NEAC. Wells is 2-6-0 overall and 0-2-0 in the conference.

Wells started quickly and attacked the Morrisville defense. Mackenzie Maloney dribbled down the left side of the field and into the penalty area where she beat a defender and the goalkeeper and scored from close range just three minutes, 30 seconds into the game.

Morrisville tied the score in the 11th minute on a give-and-go play that set up a breakaway. The winning goal came with 18:08 remaining in the second half when Morrisville's Jessica McGee shot from 23 yards out and scored off of the inside of the left post.

Quinn Doubet made seven saves for Wells. Morrisville held a 14-13 advantage in shots and 10-8 margin in corner kicks.

Wells is back in action next weekend with a Saturday, Oct. 7 home game against Lancaster Bible College and a Sunday, Oct. 8 home game against Penn State Abington.
