PITTSBURGH, PA- The Chatham University Soccer team improved to 3-3 overall on the season with a 3-1 victory over visiting Mount Aloysius College (1-5 overall) on Thursday night. The Cougars gained their second consecutive win on their home field. Chatham out-shot the Mounties 17-13.

“I was happy to see the team turn things around and improve on the areas of our game that let us down on Sunday in Ohio,” said Head Coach Betsy Warren. “With each training session and each game, this group continues to push themselves to improve. This was a game that could have very easily slipped away from us, but it was nice to see the players settle things down and take control of the play. I am really pleased with the performance and end result and glad to see the team building confidence with each game.”

For the Cougars, Rebecca Pell (So., Elizabeth, PA/Elizabeth Forward) , Sarah Ellis (So., Lawrence, PA/Canon McMillan) , and Claire Geraghty (Jr., Pittsburgh, PA/Oakland Catholic) all recorded one goal each, securing the Chatham victory. Sydney McFarland (Fy., Frostburg, MD/Northern Garrett) took five shots, three on goal and Seneca Harah (Fy., Monroeville, PA/Gateway) added two shots, one on goal. Goal Keeper Liz Sawyer (So., Saco, ME/Thornton Academy) continues to raise her stats with ten saves recorded for the night.
