PITTSBURGH, PA- The Chatham University Soccer team (2-6, 0-2 PAC) was outshot 23-3, suffering a 3-1 loss to Bethany College (2-7-1, 1-1 PAC) on Tuesday night. Bethany's Paige Prato set the precedent in the first minute of play scoring the Bison's first goal. The Cougars did not match the Bison's until the 68th minute of play when Claire Geraghty (Jr., Pittsburgh, PA/Oakland Catholic) assisted by Liz Sawyer (So., Saco, ME/Thornton Academy) scored Chatham's sole goal.

“I wasn't happy with how the first two goals happened early in the game,” said Head Coach Betsy Warren. “It took us nearly the whole first half to wake up and start playing our game. I was proud of the way the team regrouped and composed themselves in the second half. The final score didn't reflect their effort and amount of pressure they put on Bethany up until the final whistle.”

“It was a frustrating loss, but I'm just so pleased that no one on the team gave up after getting down early,” added Geraghty. “We fought hard for the full 90 minutes and left everything we had on the field.”

For the Cougars, Geraghty recorded Chatham's only goal. Sarah Ellis (So., Lawrence, PA/Canon McMillan) added two shots, both on goal. Sawyer contributed 14 more saves to the season.

Next up, the Cougars travel to Kentucky to play Thomas More College. The October 6 kickoff will be at 10:00 am.
