Women Drop Season Opener to Erie CC

Despite the efforts of CCC keeper Aja Gosper, the Red Barons season-opener ended in a 3-1 defeat at the hands of visiting Erie CC Saturday afternoon.   

Erie scored 2 first half goals and that proved to be enough to hold off the Barons. The first goal came at the 31-minute mark when an Erie shot was deflected off of a diving Gosper.  Unfortunatley, it bounced the way of an ECC player, who poked it in to the back of the net.  With 90 seconds left before the half, a bouncing ball found the hand of a Corning defender in the box and a PK was awarded to the Kats.  The Red Barons scored in the second half when Detta Gublo blasted a shot off of the ECC keepers hands and Katie Rumsey was there to push the ball past the line.  Corning keeper Aja Gosper was phenominal in the net making several diving saves on balls that looked like sure goals when they left ECC's foot.  She ended with 13 saves on the day.

Corning will next be in action Wednesday, September 5 when the host Cayuga CC in their MSAC Conference opener.
