Box Score
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.—Concluding the Gryphons' first season as a varsity program, Sarah Lawrence College women's soccer fell to The King's College, 5-1, in a 2013 Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Championship semifinal at College of Staten Island on Sunday.

No. 2 seed King's (10-3) was first on the scoreboard when Kasey Sisson netted a Lions goal in the seventh minute. Caitlin Essex expanded the King's lead in the 19th minute.

No. 3 seed Sarah Lawrence (3-10-1) was held to just one shot in the first half. Sophomore forward Lissette Hazoury (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic/Carol Morgan School) put a strike on-frame at the 35-minute mark, but TKC keeper Victoria McAlister rejected the attempt.

After trailing 2-0 at halftime, SLC cut into the lead in the opening minutes of the second half. Senior Sofie Jokela (Northfield, Minn./Northfield) fed the ball to sophomore Bri Solo (Laguna Beach, Calif./Trabuco Hills), who scored her second goal of the season to make it a 2-1 game.

SLC kept up the offensive pressure, recording three straight shots around the 60th minute. After Jokela sent a strike in the 61st minute, McAlister sent the ball the other way, and TKC's Genesis Castrellon went the length of the field to score her team's third goal. Less than two minutes later Castrellon scored again, quickly building a 4-1 lead for the Lions.

Castrellon rounded out the scoring in the 76th minute, completing her sixth hat trick of the season.

In goal, SLC keeper Addie Rosenberg (New York, N.Y./Fusion Academy) recorded seven saves in the game. McAlister ended the game with three saves.

In their first season as a varsity team, the Green and White took third place in the HVIAC regular-season standings and made a postseason appearance in their only year in the league. The program, along with 11 other SLC varsity teams, will transition to the Skyline Conference in 2014-15.
