ALBANY, NY – The Pratt Institute women's soccer team dropped their conference clash against the Panthers of Albany Pharmacy 3-0 on Sunday afternoon at ACPHS Field.
The Panthers would strike shortly after the opening whistle, as Sydney Rule took a Katie Benson pass and beat Morgan Holub in the game's 1st minute. After that, Pratt settled down, keeping the potent Panther offense in check as the Cannoneers entered halftime trailing by the score of 1-0.
In the 56th minute, Albany Pharmacy's Katie Benson doubled the home team's lead, while an 83rd minute goal increased the lead to 3-0.
Needing the result to hold for conference tournament seeding purposes, the Cannoneers defense tightened and held the Panthers scoreless for the final 10 minutes. The goal differential assured Pratt would secure the HVIAC 3 seed and a rematch with Albany Pharmacy next Saturday.
The Cannoneers conclude the regular season with an overall record of 3-7-2 (1-2-1 HVIAC).
Up Next: The Cannoneers return to Albany, NY next Saturday for the semifinals of the Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tournament.
