UNVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va.- The University of Richmond scored twice in the second half to post a 2-0 win over La Salle in Atlantic 10 women's college soccer action on Friday evening at First Market Stadium. The Spiders improve to 9-4-2, 6-2-0 Atlantic 10 while the Explorers drop to 7-7-1, 4-4-0 in the conference.
After a scoreless first half, the Spiders got on the board in the 55th minute. Junior Molly Rettig (Hummelstown, Pa.) shot the ball upfield to freshman Annette Isham (Denver, Colo.), streaking down the left side. Isham tapped the ball to Jenna Merriam (Voorhees, N.J.), just to the left of the box , who went top shelf for the game-winner.
Richmond extended its lead in the 69th minute when sophomore Meghan Ogilvie (Springfield, Va.), just past midfield, delivered the ball to a streaking Whitney Sikes (Gastonia, N.C.). Explorers goalie Kerry Schamberger came out of the box to play Sikes one-on-one and lost the battle, as the sophomore easily put the ball into the far right corner for the score.
The Spiders entertain Fordham University tomorrow evening at 7:00 p.m. at First Market Stadium. It is the final home game for five seniors: Jenna Merriam, Katie Krein and Anne Rieser.
