Nyack Scores In Final Minute To Best Post, 2-1

Women’s Soccer Ties In Second Half, But Late Goal Sinks Eagles

Box Score

WATERBURY, Conn. – Despite rallying to tie the score at 1-1 in the second half, Nyack's Selena Vargas scored the game-winning goal with 16 seconds remaining to defeat the Post University women's soccer team 2-1 at LaMoy Field on Thursday afternoon in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) match. The Eagles dropped to 0-3 overall and 0-2 in conference matches.
 
Vargas finished a rebound to lift the Warriors to their first win of the season. After Post (0-3, 0-2 CACC) goalkeeper Grace McConnell (Leeds, England) made the initial save on a shot by Stacey Cervantes, Vargas scored. McConnell made a season-high nine saves.
 
After Nyack took a 1-0 lead into the intermission, junior Renel Dennis (Queens, N.Y.) leveled the score at 1-1 in the 63rd minute with her second tally of the year. Senior Sara Cramer (Lake Hiawatha, N.J.) started the play at midfield as she connected with senior Sabrina Sinopoli (Watertown, Conn.). Sinopoli fed Dennis to complete the play.
 
Nyack (1-1, 1-0 CACC) held a 24-10 edge in shots and a 9-0 edge in corner kicks.
 
Post will take to the road for the first time this season as it travels to Molloy on Sunday, Sept. 9. The first touch is slated for noon in Rockville Centre, N.Y.
