Annandale-on-the-Hudson, NY.-
The Mustangs traveled to Bard College with the
regular-season title on the line, and came home with a win and a
championship. The championship is the second in three
years for Coach Lynnette Buffington's VJC squad.
In a rain-soaked field in which their game was pushed back three
hours, and the men's game was cancelled for that same afternoon;
the Mustangs scored the lone goal of the day on a breakaway from
junior forward Tonia Cristino (Lancaster,
PA/Hempfield). Rose Phelan (Carney, MD/Loch
Raven) was credited with the assist on Cristino's
goal.
With the victory the Mustangs will host the NEAC championships this
Friday and Saturday. They will play the 11:30am game at
Owings Mills versus the winner between Bard and Chestnut Hill.
