FROSTBURG, Md. – A four-goal second-half rally powered the Frostburg State women's soccer team past Southern Virginia in Capital Athletic Conference action, Tuesday evening at Bobcat Stadium.
 
The Bobcats (10-6-3, 6-1-2 CAC) used a 13-2 shot advantage in the final 45 minutes of play to ameliorate a slow first half.
 
Six different FSU players made the stat sheet for the Bobcats, with the hosts putting up a goal in the first 52 seconds of the second half. Freshman Anais Ventura found classmate Danielle Ferris to give the Bobcats a 1-0 lead.
 
Just over ten minutes later, senior Brooke Longo found Ferris open at the top of the 18-yard box and a misplaced kick from the Southern Virginia defense gave the Bobcats their second goal of the game.
 
Longo then found sophomore Melanie Bell four minutes later, giving FSU a cushy 3-0 advantage.
 
Junior Jessi Martz rounded out scoring for Frostburg after capitalizing on a drop pass 20 yards out from fellow junior Leah Yurko at the 73:24 mark.
 
Senior goalkeeper Paige Gray had two saves in the victory while FSU held the advantage in shots (22-5), shots on goal (13-2), and corner kicks (6-0).
 
Savannah Uri posted nine saves between the pipes for the Knights (4-14, 1-8 CAC) and shared time with Emily Weymouth.
 
Frostburg State will play host to York (Pa.) in the first round of the Capital Athletic Conference Tournament on Saturday, October 31 at 2:00 pm. Fans can follow all of the action through live video and live stats at www.FrostburgSports.com/Live.
