Senior Tessa Brookman took the first shot for YSU that was just high of the net. Jordan Gapczynski and Lauren Brennan each attempted a shot before RMU's Jaimie Morra netted her first goal of the season. Morra fired her shot off a pass from Kathleen Caggiano.

    Junior Carrie Wack came near scoring for the Penguins with a shot that was saved by Jessica Onufer. Seconds later Lauren Brennan made another attempted to score that was stopped by a Robert Morris defender.
   In the second half, the 'Guins took seven more shots in hopes of tying the game. Freshman Taylor Pickens' shot was saved while Erin Gilmour totaled two that were both wide of the net. All four of Brennan's shots for the night were also saved.

    The defense held the Colonials for the entire second half. Goalkeeper Caitlin Bodzioney finished with five saves for the game.

    Head Coach Anthony James said that the team created many scoring opportunities, but needed to capitalize on them.

    "Once again I felt that our team played a very complete game," said James. "I was impressed with the overall performance."
    YSU will host the Penguin Soccer Classic this weekend at Stambaugh Stadium. The Penguins are set to face Albany at 7 p.m. on Friday evening.
