Jacket women battle Chatham

Waynesburg scores first, but gives up two late goals in 2-1 defeat

WAYNESBURG, Pa. (Oct. 16) – The Waynesburg University women's soccer team looked poised to pull out a hard-fought win over visiting Chatham on a chilly Tuesday night. Unfortunately, the Yellow Jackets lost their 1-0 lead late in the contest and fell 2-1 to the Cougars.
 
Waynesburg (7-4-2, 3-2) grabbed the lead just before halftime when senior Natalie Fortna (Canonsburg, Pa. / Canon-McMillan) scored her third goal in two games late in the 42nd minute. The score was set up by sophomore Maddie Walker (Shanksville, Pa. / Shanksville-Stony Creek).
 
Despite a nearly constant barrage of shots from the Cougars, the home team was inching closer to picking up a key conference win as the game advanced into its 73rd minute. Unfortunately, the Cougars (8-5, 2-3) tied the game with 16:06 showing on the game clock. Midway through the 76th minute, Chatham struck again for the game-winning goal.
 
The Jackets got off one more shot on the evening courtesy of sophomore Emily Hill (Johnstown, Pa. / Richland), but it was blocked by a Chatham defender.
 
Junior goalkeeper Courtney Syfert did all she could to keep her team in contention by stopping 16-of-18 shots on goal. The Cougars outshot the host team by a 27-10 margin.
 
Waynesburg will look to bounce back from the hard-luck loss on Saturday, Oct. 20, when it travels to Grove City. Start time is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
