After losing 3-0 to Adelphi University last Tuesday, the New Haven women’s soccer team was looking to change the page and defeat Bentley University, but that wasn’t the case. On Saturday, Sept. 23 at Kathy Zolad Stadium, the New Haven women’s soccer team was once again defeated, this time falling to Bentley University by a score of 2-0.

During the first few minutes of the game it looked like both teams were off to a good start. In the 28th minute, sophomore defender Jillian Hendriksen led the Falcons 1-0 with a header off of a corner kick assisted by junior defender Ryenne Feeney. But that didn’t stop the Chargers from fighting for the remainder of the game. For the first half of the game, Bentley was able to maintain possession.

The second half of the game saw the Chargers come back with a different mindset and apply pressure to keep Bentley from adding to their lead. With under a minute remaining of the game, the ball bounced off of a New Haven defender and made it 2-0 to secure Bentley’s victory over the Chargers.

New Haven was looking to control the ball and maintain defensive pressure on Bentley as they looked to make a comeback, but to no avail as the Falcons were able to cash in on scoring opportunities. Bentley sent eleven shots to the net, with two reaching in the back of the net, as sophomore goalkeeper Caitlin Daley tallied five saves.

New Haven will now head on the road for their upcoming matchup on Wednesday, Sept. 27 to face Pace University. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 7:00 p.m. as the Chargers look to turn things around and find victory. For more information, you can go on newhavenchargers.com.
