Albright Edges Women's Soccer, 1-0

Scranton, Pa. - Albright College scored in the 66th minute and held off the equalizer from Marywood University as the Lions escaped Scranton with a 1-0 win in non-conference women's soccer action.  Albright (2-2) go the game-winner from Autumn Bieber.  

Both teams entered the second half scoreless as neither could find the back of the net in the opening 45 minutes of play.  Albright out-shot Marywood 6-4 in that half, but Bella DiToma and the Pacers' back line kept the Lions' attack in check and off the board.

DiToma would come up huge for the Paces in the 63rd minute when she stopped a penalty kick.  After a handball was called near the top of the 18 yard box, DiToma dove to her left to stop Jillian Lapidus' free attempt.  But just over three minutes later, Albright would counter down the wing, and Lauren Haley sent in a low cross to the front where Bieber would one-time it to the far post for the game-winner.

Marywood put pressure on late, but an attempt from Jackie VonItter in the 88th minute sailed just wide of the near post.  

The Lions out-shot Marywood 13-9 for the game (6-3 on goal).  They had five corners, four of which came in the first half, to Marywood's six total.  DiToma had a game-high five stops in goal.  Olivia Donkus made three saves for the visitor's shutout win.

Marywood travels across town to battle The University of Scranton, who received votes in the season-opening top-25 poll, Wednesday night.
