Women's soccer drops first A-10 game at St. Joe's

The St. Bonaventure women's soccer team saw its program record four-game Atlantic 10 win streak come to an end on Sunday as it dropped a 1-0 decision to Saint Joseph's at Finnesey Field.

The conference loss is the first of the season for the Bonnies, who fall to 4-1 in the A-10 and 7-7 overall. The Hawks improve to 3-2-1 in the A-10 after their second win of the weekend.

"Saint Joseph's played well and worked really hard," said head coach Manoj Khettry. "It was really tough for us to adapt to the speed and the bounce of the field turf, but we still had some really good chances that we couldn't connect on and they did. We'll have to find a way to bounce back next weekend against Daytona and Xavier."

Saint Joseph's controlled the game from start to finish, building a commanding 21-4 shot advantage and an 8-2 edge in corner kicks.

The lone goal of the game came in the 22nd minute when Jen Pfeiffer headed home the eventual game-winning goal into the right side of the net.

Sophomore keeper Nicole Markert kept the Brown and White in the game on numerous occasions and finished with a career-high 11 saves. During her 11-save performance, Markert stopped the 200th shot of her career.

St. Bonaventure will back in action on Friday, Oct. 16 when it welcomes Dayton to McGraw-Jennings Field. The game will be part of a doubleheader with the men's team and will begin at noon.
