WESTMINSTER, MD - The Mustangs got back to winning ways with a hard fought performance against McDaniel College. The non-conference game was end to end with both teams creating many chances but in the end the Mustangs held on for a 2-1 win over the Green Terror.

The Mustangs got on the scoresheet only 11 minutes into the game when freshman Allison Humphries (Bel Air, MD/John Carroll) slotted a pass between two defenders for senior Rose Phelen (Carney, MD/Loch Raven) who calmly shot the ball into the far corner past the goalkeeper. In the space of 2 minutes the Mustangs grabbed their second goal of the game when senior Tonia Cristino (Lancaster, PA/Hempfield) superbly shot the ball high into the far corner of the net from the edge of the penalty box.

McDaniel would make things tough for the Mustangs when they scored only 8 minutes into the second half. The Mustangs held on and could not make one of their twelve second half shots count. With only 6 minutes left in the game the Mustangs lost defender Meghan Smith (Stevensville, MD/Kent Island) to a red card.  The Mustangs held firm and played out the rest of the game with only 10 players.

The Mustangs do not have much rest as they face another away game on Thursday 4th October against Hood College.
