Women’s Soccer Falls To No. 24 Eastern

Senior goalkeeper Ashley Denti stopped eight shots in the loss.

EWING, N.J. (September 11, 2010) – The Centenary women’s soccer team battled hard for 90 minutes but were unable to get onto the scoreboard, falling to No. 24 Eastern, 2-0, Saturday at the TCNJ/adidas Classic in Ewing, N.J. After a 2-0 start, the Lady Cyclones have dropped their last three, while Eastern improved to 4-0.

Centenary mustered only four shots, two on goal, while EU finished with 20 shots, 10 on goal. Eastern took five corner kicks while CC finished with just one. Senior goalkeeper Ashley Denti (Sergentsville, N.J./Hunterdon Central) recorded eight saves in the loss.

A pair of free kicks led to both of Eastern’s goals. In the 30th minute, after Denti made a nice save on a shot by Kristine Zeiset, Tess Beckwith pounced on the ball and kicked it into the back of the net for the 1-0 lead. In the second half, Ashley Graybill sent a free kick over the head of Denti from 30-yards out to complete the scoring.

Centenary returns to action on Sunday when it finishes the TCNJ/adidas Classic with a match against Husson at 11:00 a.m.
