Box Score YONKERS, N.Y.—A first-half goal by rookie
Jordynn Figueroa (Gresham, Ore./Gresham) proved to be the critical score when Sarah Lawrence College women's soccer shut out York College (N.Y.), 1-0, in a non-conference game at Tibbetts Brook Park on Wednesday.
IN SHORT
Sarah Lawrence (3-6) def. York (4-6), 1-0.
KEY MOMENTS
Figueroa's game-winning goal came in the 17th minute of the game. Sophomore
Sophia Spralja (San Clemente, Calif./San Clemente) fed a pass into the center of the field, and Figueroa struck from 20 yards away from the goal. The first-year Gryphon's high strike deflected off the York goalkeeper's hands and just under the crossbar. The score was Figueroa's third of the season and her second game-winner. The 1-0 SLC edge held firm, and despite a flurry of offensive attacks by the Cardinals in the final minutes, Sarah Lawrence went on to clinch the victory.
