Women’s Soccer Advances To CACC Championship; Defeat Georgian Court 2-1

Post Plays For CACC Title For First Time In Program History



WATERBURY, Conn. – The Post University women's soccer team advanced to its first-ever Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Championship game with a 2-1 victory over Georgian Court on Thursday afternoon at Municipal Stadium. The Eagles will face Philadelphia in the title game on Saturday with an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament on the line.
 
Junior Lexxi Carroll (Plainville, Conn.) scored her first of two goals on the day in the 49th minute. Sophomore Sylvia Yanez (North Haven, Conn.) fed a pass to Carroll through tight coverage in front of the net to setup the score.
 
"Lexxi Carroll was spectacular today. She was all over the field defensively and scored two great goals," said head coach Matt Micros.
 
The Lions took control from there, outshooting the Eagles 7-0 over the next 10 minutes, but tremendous defensive play by the Post back line led by junior Misty Kaiwi (Waiphu, Hawaii) and sophomore Brooke Lawlor (Rocky Hill, Conn.); and goalkeeper Brittany Carroll (Plainville, Conn.) kept the score 1-0.
 
Carroll struck again in the 78th minute to put Post in front 2-0. After the Lions tried to clear the ball, Carroll took over possession just outside the box and launched a high lofting shot that just crossed the line for the score.
 
Georgian Court scored late on a penalty kick after the Eagles were called for a handball in the box, but Post clamped down defensively with help from sophomore Valerie Moore (Bloomfield, Conn.) and senior Brina Yanez (North Haven, Conn.) and Shannon Bahme (Naugatuck, Conn.) to secure the victory.
 
"Things got a little hectic towards the end but our keepers and backs kept things tight. That was a battle that could have gone either way and I give full credit to the girls," added Micros.
 
Junior goalkeeper Laura Morgan (Brush Prairie, Wash.) held the Lions scoreless in the first half. Carroll picked up her eighth victory in net with three second-half saves.
 
Post will face the top-seeded Rams for the title on Saturday, Nov. 8 at LaMoy Field at 11 a.m.
