Women’s Soccer Dealt Heartbreaking Loss in CACC Quarterfinals



In a back-and-forth contest with multiple momentum changes, Goldey-Beacom was handed a crushing 3-2 loss by Holy Family in the quarterfinals of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament in Hockessin, DE.
 
The Lightning (12-6-1) close an outstanding season in which they hosted a conference tournament game for the first time since 2005, also the last time they were a number three seed prior to this year.  The season also saw junior Amy Runciman (Luton, England) named second team all-conference and Dan Frick tabbed BSN Sports Coach of the Year.
 
Holy Family, which never trailed, struck first in the 11th minute.  Ashley Shackleford had the ball on the right side and fed a great pass in front to Stefanie Ulmer, who put home a six-yard touch for her seventh goal of the year.
 
GBC responded just 80 seconds after halftime.  Sophomore Cliona Crammond (Wicklow, Ireland) has been a valuable player all year and once again proved it, getting the ball six yards out and putting it in for her fourth goal of the season and 10th career.
 
The Tigers got a corner kick in the 61st minute and cashed in.  Alyssa Christiansen put a perfect ball in the box that Shannon Metzler headed in for her fifth goal of the year and a 2-1 Holy Family lead.
 
The Lightning for the second time got the equalizer, this time less than two minutes later.  Runciman got a ball that was put in the box by senior Becca Cordo (Roosevelt, NJ) and banged it home to make the contest a brand new one.
 
With overtime and even penalty kicks looming, Holy Family in the 83rd minute grabbed its third lead of the match.  Brianna Rock got a long pass from Taylor Adair, put one touch on it and then scored on the second for her team-leading 13th goal of the season.
 
After the teams combined for nine shots in the first half, Holy Family held a 9-8 edge in the wild second half.  Metzler had four shots and Kacie Booth made two saves for the sixth-seeded Tigers (9-7-2).
 
Senior Cindell Aguirre (El Paso, TX) made four saves in her final game and ends her career third in school history with 264.  She also holds the team record with 15 shutouts.
