WALTHAM, Mass. -- The Brandeis University women's soccer team
battled visiting Carnegie Mellon University to scoreless draw today
in a University Athletic Association (UAA) contest on Gordon Field.
The Judges move to 9-7-2 on the season, 2-3-1 in the league, while
CMU goes to 8-5-3, 2-3-1 UAA. The teams are tied for fourth place
in the conference with seven points.
Brandeis had the better play in the first half, outshooting the
Tartans, 7-5. The Judges put two shots on goal in the 18th minute,
one by sophomore Tiffany Pacheco (Rehoboth, Mass.)
and another by rookie Izabella Miranda (Plymouth,
Mass.). CMU sophomore goalkeeper Anya Rosen (La Canada, Calif.)
stopped both attempts, as she did late in the stanza, making saves
on the same two players.
Carnegie Mellon turned up their offense in the second half,
earning an 11-7 shot margin, putting six shot on goal. Rookie
goalkeeper Jacklyn Weinstein (Arcadia, Calif.)
made four of her six saves in the second half. The Judges came up
with a pair of big defensive saves. One was in the 77th minute,
when rookie midfielder Francesca Shin (Bayside,
N.Y.) cleared an attempt by CMU's Emily Overstreet (Camp Hill, Pa.)
off the line. The other took place late in the contest, with just
13 seconds onthe clock. With Weinstein down after a collision with
Tartan senior Abigail Coffin (Pittsburgh, Pa.), the defense again
cleared the ball from in front of a wide open net.
In the overtime sessions, both teams got off four shots. The
visitors had the better attempts, putting two shots on Brandeis's
third-string goalie, rookie Elyse Phillips (Olney,
Md.), who made saves on both.
For the game, the Tartans owned a 20-18 shooting advantage and a
5-1 margin in corner kicks, but Brandeis was unable to take
advantage of CMU's 18 fouls to the Judges' six.The game marked the
final regular-season home contest for senior back Meredith
Milstein (Waterford, Mich.).
Brandeis wraps up regular-season play next Saturday morning when
they take on NYU in New York in a UAA match.
