DOVER, DE - The Mustangs were narrowly defeated 1-0 at Wesley College. The Mustangs could not spoil Wesley's homecoming weekend. The Villa Julie Women's soccer team played with intensity but could not finish one of their 11 shots. The Mustangs outshot Wesley 11-7 in a game that the goalkeepers produced crucial saves and the defense of each team exceled at keeping the attackers at bay.

After a very even first half, the Mustangs almost made the breakthrough with only a minute left in the half. A great through ball by senior Tonia Cristino (Lancaster, PA/Hempfield) sent Rose Phelan (Carney, MD/Loch Raven) through on goal with only the keeper to beat. Phelan rounded the keeper but with a tough angle could only hit the post. The ball was then cleared by the Wesley defence.

Wesley scored only 8 minutes into the second half when some nice play on the right side yielded the scoring opportunity. The game was played at a high speed and the Mustangs showed some great passing movements. The defense held firm, limiting Wesley to only 7 shots all game, which was partly due to the leadership of freshman Katie Amos (Baltimore, MD/Catholic).

The Mustangs will be looking to snap a two-game losing streak when they host Gallaudet University in conference action on Tuesday 9th October at 4:30pm.
