Falcons Shutout Lady Chargers on the Road, 4-0
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - Led by a pair of goals from freshman Jade Skillen (New Market, England/West Suffolk) the University of Montevallo women's soccer team (2-2-1) evened out their record with a 4-0 victory over former conference foe University of Alabama-Huntsville (3-3). The Falcons out shot the Lady Chargers 15-12 en route to the victory.
Freshmen Alyssa Maxwell (Surrey, British Columbia/Semiahmoo) and Margret Ingthorsdottir (Sandgerdi, Iceland/Fjolbrauteskoli Sudurnesia) split time in goal for the Falcons. Maxwell played the majority of the minutes picking up the win and making five saves while Ingthorsdottir played just over 14 minutes and made one save.
The Falcons struck first in the 38th minute as sophomore Natalie Martineau (Oakville, Ontario/Ecole Secondaire) fed a through ball to Skillen which freed her for a breakaway against the keeper. Skillen did not let the opportunity slip away as she beat the keeper and put the Falcons up 1-0 going into halftime.
Just over 17 minutes into the second half Skillen struck again as freshman Paige Scott (Denman Island, British Columbia/Reynolds) fed her the ball for another goal putting the Falcons ahead 2-0. The third goal of the match came off a misplay by the Lady Chargers as they put a ball into their own net to give UM a 3-0 advantage.
The Falcons finished the scoring in the 76th minute as Martineau scored off an assist from freshman Darla Allen (Pinson, Ala./Clay-Chalkville).
The Falcons will return to action this Saturday, Sept. 19 at 6 p.m. as they host North Georgia College and State University in their first home contest of the season.
