CARLISLE, PA – The York College women's soccer squad saw their modest two game win come to an end with a 2-0 loss on the road at Dickinson College on Wednesday afternoon in Carlisle.
After a scoreless first half, the Red Devils got a pair of second half goals for the deciding tallies.
The Spartans fall to 5-3 overall while the Red Devils improve to 3-2-1.
 
How It Happened
• The Red Devils controlled the early play but not like that stats might have indicated. The Red Devils held an 8-2 margin in total shots but the shots on goal told a different story as Dickinson had a slight 1-0 edge in that category. Both teams had one corner kick in the opening 45 minutes of play.
• The Red Devils broke the scoreless tie in the 50^th minute as Ava Prisco scored off a pass from Joelle Ma. The Red Devils tacked on a penalty kick goal just over two minutes later as Ma converted the opportunity for the 2-0 lead.
• The Spartans battled to get back into the game but the offense was just unable to create any sustainable possession in Dickinson's defensive third.
• The Red Devils out shot the Spartans 14-7 in total shots but a mere 3-1 in shots on goal. Both teams had four corner kicks in the match.
