Three Unanswered Goals Lead Dukes to Win Over La Salle

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The Duquesne women's soccer team scored three unanswered goals to come from behind and beat the La Salle Explorers 4-2 on Sunday afternoon.

The win improves Duquesne's record to 5-5-1 (3-2-1 A-10) while La Salle falls to 6-6 (1-4 A-10) on the year.

Down 2-1 at halftime, the Dukes scored three times in the second half to secure the victory.

Freshman forward Maya Matesa scored the final goal to clinch the win. She led the team with three shots on goal. Freshman defender Lindsay Krafchick recorded the assist.

Freshman midfielder Mackenzie Muir scored the game-winning goal in the 74th-minute. She leads the team with three game-winning goals this season.

Junior midfielder Cami Taylor notched her first goal of the season to open the scoring in the 21st-minute. Senior defender Ashley Rodriguez tallied the assist.

Freshman defender Eva LaVecchia scored her first career goal in the 62nd-minute to tie the game at 2-2. Freshman forward Margey Brown tallied her second assist of the season on LaVecchia's goal.

Sophomore goalkeeper Maddy Neundorfer recorded six saves.

The Dukes and Explorers each had eight shots on goal today.

Just after Taylor's goal to give the Dukes an early lead, La Salle drew a foul in the box and scored on a penalty kick to even the game.

Right before half, La Salle took the lead on a 43rd-minute goal. The Dukes would go into the locker room trailing by one.

It took about 17 minutes for the Dukes to tie it at two, but once LaVecchia scored, the floodgates opened.

Muir would score the game-winner 12 minutes later before Matesa found the back of the net nine minutes after that.

With a two-goal lead and just seven minutes remaining, all the Dukes needed to do was hold on, which they did. They are back in action Sunday at 1:00 P.M. when Davidson comes to Pittsburgh.
