Panthers offense too much to handle as New York women's soccer teams drops conference game to Albany College of Pharmacy

The Berkeley College New York women's soccer team dropped a Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference contest Albany College of Pharmacy on Thursday afternoon, falling to the Panthers by a score of 15-0 at the ACPHS Track and Field in Albany, NY. With the victory, the Albany College of Pharmacy improved to 4-6-1 overall and 2-2 in HVIAC competition, while the Knights dropped 0-3 on the 2014 campaign (and 0-2 in conference play).

The Panthers offense scored a staggering 12 goals in the opening session, Sarah Cope accounting for three of those tallies, Katie Parsels finding the net twice, and Ashley Salsedo, Alexis Swist, Kayli Smith, Veronica Arceri, Rachel Spina, Joanna Douglas and Nive Sivakumar each scoring once apiece.

The Panther defense continued to hold strong in second half. ACPHS was able to add three more goals in the second stanza to account for the final score. Panthers freshman goal keeper, Kennedy Rives, posted her first career shutout.

Despite the loss for the Knights, Berkeley netminders Briana Ortega and Kimberly accounted for 22 saves combined (11 apiece).

The Knights will return to action on Monday evening, as Berkeley will take to the road to battle Yeshiva University in another HVIAC game. The contest will take place at SUNY Purchase, and game-time is scheduled for 8:00pm.
