Reading, Pa. (11/13/16) – The Kean University women's soccer team advanced to the semifinals of the ECAC Tournament with a 2-1 win over Albright College on Sunday evening.
With the win, Kean (13-8) will face host Springfield College on Saturday, November 19th at 11 a.m. All four No. 1 seeds advanced out of regional play to setup semifinal action next weekend. New York University will take on Grove City College in the other matchup.
Albright (11-9-1) jumped out of the gate with the game's first goal just under three minutes into the action as Crissy Terraces headed in a cross from Emily Sousa for a quick 1-0 lead. The Lions would keep the pressure on but senior keeper Lauren Healey was able to make five stops to keep the Cougars within striking distance.
The score would remain that way until the beginning of the second half as it was the Cougars turn to surge as Emily Jurcsek netted the equalizer on a feed from Jordan Thuman in the 48th minute. Kaitlyn Pallitto (pictured left) recorded the game-winner, also on a pass from Thuman, as she used a breakaway opportunity for the high chip in.
Healey finished with seven saves.
