Iona WSOC Downed on Road at UMBC

BALTIMORE, MD — The Iona University women's soccer team concluded its road swing on Sunday afternoon with a 5-0 setback to University of Baltimore County. The Retrievers pulled away with a three-goal second half to take the matchup over the Gaels, who won the meeting between both teams last season at Mazzella Field.

GAME SUMMARY

Iona had the first breakaway chance of the game in the 6th minute as rookie Mya Jackson drove the ball from the defensive end to the 30-yard mark on the Retrievers end. A pass down the left touch line for senior Krystal Haertter who fired a right footed shot that was denied by a diving stop.
 
UMBC would take the early lead in the 22nd minute, as cross sent in from the right side was deflected off the Gaels defense and into the back of the net to give the home team a 1-0 lead. With momentum on their side, the Retrievers doubled up just four minutes later as a booming free kick by Payton Schenning from 30-yards out that bounced through the wall and into the back of the net.
 
The Gaels looked to get on the scoreboard at the tail end of the opening half working the ball in the UMBC end in the 30th minute. Junior Daija Jones, senior Zaheira Hegazi and junior Victoria Ryan all made shot attempts on goal that were denied by Sara Gavagan in a five-minute stretch.
 
The Maroon & Gold held a 7-3 advantage on shots in the first half against the Retrievers
 
Iona had a point-blank opportunity in the 53rd minute on a cross by Jackson to sophomore Dolene Smith at the doorstep but that was kick saved away by new keeper Kalli Williams.
 
 From there it was all UMBC, scoring goals in the 55th minute and 62nd minute before capping the scoring with a penalty kick goal in the 84th minute to bring the final to 5-0.
 
Iona posted a season-high 10 shot attempts with seven different Gaels attempting a shot on goal. Junior Isabella Giovanni made her first appearance in goal for Iona, playing the final 12 minutes and recording her first career save.

  • UMBC held a 11-10 edge for shots in the game while the Gaels held a 7-6 shot on goal advantage.
