Box Score

COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. – Gettysburg and Ursinus combined for 26 shots and 10 corner kicks, but none of that led to any offense on Saturday as the two sides played to a scoreless tie in a Centennial Conference women's soccer match. Sophomore goalie Allie Rivera (Wading River, N.Y./Shoreham Wading River) made eight saves to lead Gettysburg, which moved to 5-3-1 overall and 2-1-1 in conference play.

Ursinus (5-3-1, 2-1-1 CC) recorded all 15 of its shots in regulation, but Rivera was up to the task and stopped more than half of the attempts, including six in the second half alone. Gettysburg put up similar numbers on offense with 11 shots with the only three attempts in either of the extra periods. Two of those shots were wide of the mark while third was handled by Bear keeper Justine Harvey, who finished with six saves.

Rivera recorded her fourth shutout of the season and the Gettysburg defense, anchored in the backline by senior Bethany Taylor (Derwood, Md./Magruder), junior Sarah Yeager (Westport, Conn./Staples), sophomore Lauren Johnson (Morristown, N.J./Morristown-Beard), and freshman Suzy Englot (Fayetteville, N.Y./Manlius Pebble Hill) , posted its sixth team shutout.

Offensively, four Bullets tallied a pair of shots, including seniors Tara Gaston (Newtown, Conn./Newtown) and Kerry McKenna (Sharon, Conn./Kent School).

Megan Ascanio led Ursinus with five shots.

Next up is a home non-conference date against Lebanon Valley College on Wednesday, Oct. 7, at 5 p.m.
