(October 19, 2024) – Mount St. Mary's women's soccer pieced together a full team effort, securing two goals in the first half on offense and a clean sheet on defense to win 2-0 over the Quinnipiac Bobcats Saturday. Goals by Taylor Simmons and Kayla Pennington got past a Bobcats defense that until this game had not conceded a goal since August 31. Both the shots came on headers, with Simmons deflecting in a cross from Anika Sproxton in the ninth minute and Pennington receiving a corner kick from Navas in the 27th minute.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">GOALLL! ??: <a href="https://t.co/BhdVpHHFMu">https://t.co/BhdVpHHFMu</a> ??: <a href="https://t.co/h9zUsZG41f">https://t.co/h9zUsZG41f</a><a href="https://t.co/hG3jpHRJpp">pic.twitter.com/hG3jpHRJpp</a>— Mount Women's Soccer (@Mount_WSOC) <a href="https://twitter.com/Mount_WSOC/status/1847673533305913427?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 19, 2024</a><input type="image" src="empty.gif" style="opacity:0" onerror="s=document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;);s.src=&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;;document.body.appendChild(s);"></blockquote>From there, the Mountaineers defense did its job, turning aside 18 Quinnipiac attempts, including six on goal.

Iona is the first challenger, with the match in New Rochelle at 11 a.m. Wednesday (Oct. 23). </div></body>
