Syracuse Women's Soccer Picks Up Sixth Straight Win

The goal of non-conference play for Syracuse women’s soccer: “Keep them healthy and get them confident.”

According to Head Coach Nicky Adams, the team has achieved both in a 3-0 win over Cornell.

The Orange played in their last non-conference game against Cornell where they scored three goals in the first half, but only two of them counted.

The first goal scored in the fifth minute was waved off. Syracuse’s corner from junior Kate Murphy found graduate student Jenna Tivnan’s head who redirected it toward the frame, but graduate student Chelsea Domond tapped it in from an offside position.

The Orange officially added the first one to the scoreboard with sophomore Erin Flurey’s penalty kick in the 23rd minute.

The goal is Flurey’s fourth of the season.

Cornell’s best chance of the first half came from junior Mia Gonzalez who hit off the crossbar in the 38th minute of play.

First-year Gianna Savella took the Orange into the second half after scoring her first career goal by heading Domond’s cross in the 45th minute.

“I expected Gianna’s goal, her first one, to be with her foot but the fact is that [it was] with her head, we’ll take it,” Adams said.

Cornell came into the second half hot, forcing first-year Shea Vanderbosch to make a diving save in the 51st minute.

Syracuse’s Ashley Rauch, a sophomore, had an opportunity to finish a through ball in the 63rd minute, but placed it far right of the frame.

Domond ultimately scored her fourth goal of the season after cutting to her right on the left side and finishing in the upper right 90.
