Johnson Falls to Canton in Non-Conference Play

The SUNY Canton women's soccer team controlled the contest from start to finish as they defeated visiting Johnson State College, 3-0, Wednesday afternoon in a non-conference match. The win improves the Kangaroos to 6-7, while the Badgers fall to 5-7 on the season.

SUNY Canton took control of the game from the start scoring just 10:06 into the contest. Karyss Terrance took the ball down the right sideline and served a ball into the box where Franchesca Trombley  stood at the far post and finished past Badger keeper Amber McCullock.

In the 24th minute the Roos had another chance to score as Terrance fired a shot that was saved by McCullock. Two minutes later Terrance would get redemption as she received a pass from Katlyn Hart and played a perfect shot into the top left corner just under the cross bar to give the hosts a 2-0 lead.

The Roos controlled play in the opening half holding large advantages in shots (14-2), shots on goal (7-2) and corner kicks (3-0). SUNY Canton took a 2-0 lead into intermission.

The hosts continued to pour on the pressure in the second half. The Roos tallied their third score of the contest when Tressa Goolden fed Hart who shot the ball off the inside of the right post for the 3-0 lead.

SUNY Canton controlled play as numerous other chances just missed. Hart had several opportunities to score but McCullock was up to the task stopping her shot attempts. 

The Roos dictated the pace of play throughout the day dominating in shots (24-4), shots on goal (14-3) and corner kicks (7-2). Brittany Rotach made three stops for her sixth win and fourth shutout of the season. McCullock made 11 saves on the day for the Badgers and was saddled with the loss.

SUNY Canton returns to action Saturday when it travels to take on Cazenovia College beginning at 1:00 p.m as Johnson State prepares to travel to Thomas College on Saturday the 12th for a 1:00pm conference tilt.
