Scalisi's First Half Goal Lifts Daemen To 1-0 Win at STAC

SPARKILL, N.Y. – An unassisted goal by senior Tatyjana Scalisi (Williamsville, N.Y.) with just over 11 minutes left in the first half lifted the Daemen University women's soccer team to a 1-0 victory over St. Thomas Aquinas College this afternoon at Spartan Soccer Field on the STAC campus. Daemen improved to 1-8-1 overall and 1-2-0 in the East Coast Conference, while the host Spartans fell to 2-7-1 overall and 1-3-0 in the league.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Daemen out shot the Spartans 8-3 in the first half and the Wildcats eventually broke a scoreless tie in the 33rd minute. STAC senior goalkeeper Colleen Stevens attempted to clear the ball out of the STAC zone, but Scalisi intercepted the attempt and sent a shot over the head of Stevens and into the STAC net from 25 yards out. It marked the first goal of the year for Scalisi.
  • Daemen registered two more shots over the final 10 minutes of the half, but the score remained 1-0 at the break.
  • Daemen limited the STAC scoring opportunities in the second half and the hosts did not record a shot on goal until the 65th minute.
  • The Wildcats finished with a 15-6 edge in total shots for the game, and Daemen also held a 10-2 edge in shots on goal.
  • Senior goalkeeper Tori DeLappi (Medina, Ohio) went the distance for Daemen and made two saves en route to her second shut out of the year. Stevens made five saves in the second half to keep the Spartans in the game and finished with nine saves for the Spartans.

GAME NOTES

  • Daemen has out shot six of its 10 opponents this year.
  • Today's game marked the 10th all-time meeting between the Wildcats and Spartans. Daemen has prevailed in the last three meetings and owns a 7-2-1 advantage in the all-time series. The Wildcats are a perfect 5-0-0 against the Spartans in games played at STAC.
