Daches' Header Sends Women's Soccer to Atlantic East Title Game

Dover, Del. - Madison Daches headed home a direct kick from Brooke Longstreet at the 76 minute mark to send fourth-seeded Marywood University to the Atlantic East Conference women's soccer title game with a 1-0 win over No. 2 Wesley College.

 

The Pacers (8-11) will host No. 6 Immaculata University (6-10-2) Saturday at 1:00 pm for the inaugural Atlantic East Conference Championship.  The Mighty Macs stunned top seed Cabrini 3-0 in Wednesday's earlier semifinal. Marywood edged Immaculata 1-0 at home in the regular season.

 

After a foul just inside the Pacers attacking half of the field, Longstreet sent a beautiful direct kick over the Wolverines' back line.  With the Wesley keeper charging out for the apparent 50/50 ball, Daches leaped over one defender and headed it back in the opposite direction, finding near-post netting.

 

Host Wesley did not go away quietly and had several other dangerous looks sail just wide of goal.  With five seconds left, Marywood was whistled for a foul just outside the 18 yard box on the end-line.  With the clock stopped due to a yellow card, Wesley set up a nice play, but Aly Moyer snagged a low-driven ball at the near post to preserve the Pacers' victory.

 

Marywood out-shot Wesley 17-15 for the game, a far cry from its 34-17 advantage in the regular season meeting between the teams. But the Pacers did get revenge for their 3-1 loss to the Wolverines earlier in the year.

 

Moyer made a game-high eight stops in the shutout win. Her counterpart Isabelle Fabris made five stops in the loss.

 

The Wolverines (9-4-2) will await a possible ECAC bid Monday.
