Orangeburg, N.Y. - Sophomore Katharina Mertz (Buxtehude, Germany) scored her seventh goal of the season right before halftime, and the Eagles didn't give up a shot as they won 1-0 in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference game against Dominican.

With the win, the Eagles move to 5-3-1 overall and 5-0-1 in the CACC. They have still not allowed a goal in conference play. Dominican is now 0-6 overall and 0-4 in the CACC.

Post had plenty of opportunities early on as senior Lexxi Carroll (Plainville, Conn.) had a shot hit the crossbar early on as well as getting shots blocked or saved.

However, on the Eagles ninth and final shot of the half, Mertz put in a shot on an indirect free kick from freshman Alex Moeller (Norderstedt, Germany) past goalkeeper Angelica Contreras in the 45th minute.



The Eagles showed more fire power in the second half, taking 11 more shots on goal, but were unable to get another one past Contreras, who finished with 12 saves. The Eagles outshot the Chargers, 20-0.

Despite injuries, coach Matt Micros is happy with the tough road win. "We didn't play extremely well today, but any road win is a good win. Dominican was very organized and defended well. Going through a tough stretch right now in terms of injuries and illness but the girls keep battling. Defensively we have been missing two starters, but have remained solid," Micros said.

Up next for the Eagles is a return to LaMoy Field is a game against Holy Family at noon on Saturday, October 3.
