Vulcans recognize three seniors prior to play; Koehler tallies first goal of the season

CALIFORNIA (Oct. 27) – The California University of Pennsylvania women's soccer team dropped a 3-1 contest to Lock Haven on Senior Day in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) play on Saturday afternoon at the Phillipsburg Soccer Facility.

With the loss, the Vulcans finish the season with a 1-14-2 overall record behind a 0-14-2 mark in conference action. Meanwhile, the Bald Eagles improve to 11-4-1 this season, all in league play, and qualify for the PSAC Tournament.

Lock Haven tallied three shots in a span of five-plus minutes in the early portion of the match before taking a 1-0 lead on a breakaway goal by Marah Foltz with an assist from Ella Jones. The Bald Eagles added to their lead at the 25:20-mark when Taylor Mortiz placed the ball into the top right corner following a feed from Foltz, 2-0. Lock Haven maintained the lead at the break after holding a 6-4 edge in shots.

In the opening three minutes of the second half, Foltz recorded her league-leading 17th goal of the season following a one-on-one opportunity at the 47:15-mark. The Bald Eagles attempted a pair of corner kicks within 20 seconds of each other in the 54th minute before the Vulcan defense cleared the attack. Cal U pressured the net in the 71st minute with two corner kicks in 20 seconds with senior Danielle Koehler (Coal Center, Pa./California) scoring on a header following a corner kick by sophomore Kiley Austin (Orchard Park, N.Y./Sacred Heart Academy). The teams combined for five additional shots on net in the final 15 minutes, as Lock Haven finished with the 3-1 victory.

Sophomore Gianna Sinatra (Moon Twp., Pa./Moon) and freshman Carly Gobbie (Glassport, Pa./South Allegheny) split time in net with each goalkeeper playing 45 minutes. Sinatra earned the start and posted three saves to finish the year with a team-leading 52 saves. Gobbie made four saves in the second half while making her fourth appearance of the year.

The Bald Eagles finished with a 14-11 shot advantage and also posted a 5-2 edge in corner kicks.
