Arlington, VA - The Mustangs earned a hard-fought win in their conference opener against Marymount University.  The Mustangs in their first Capital Athletic Conference game travelled to Marymount University and came away with a 5-2 victory. 

In a very evenly contested first half, the Saints broke the deadlock with a goal in the last minute of the half. The breakthrough was only one of three shots Marymount had in the first half. Villa Julie battled hard and came close when one of their 4 shots hit the post.

A strong second-half performance propelled Villa Julie to the victory. The game was tied up when a foul on Rose Phelen inside the penalty box led to freshman Allison Humphries scoring her first goal as a Mustang from the spot. Shortly after, Villa Julie regained the lead when a corner from Rose Phelen was headed into the net by freshman Brittany Bangert for her first goal as a Mustang.  Only a minute later, senior Tonia Cristino put the game out of reach when she finished a breakaway with a chip over the goalkeeper. Allison Humphries grabbed her second goal of the night, following up on a rebound off the goalkeeper and senior Katie Orlando sealed the win with a volleyed goal inside the box. The Saints scored their second with only a couple of minutes left in the game.

The Mustangs have a quick turnaround when they return to CAC action on Saturday 22nd September at Owings Mills when they face Salisbury at 12pm.
