DETROIT (10-4-26) - Sophomore
Emma Henry posted a team-best three shots with two on goal, while sophomores
Brogan Hughes and
Auden Stauffer, and freshman
Samantha Sackfield each recorded a shot on goal as Detroit Mercy fell to Youngstown State in #HLWSOC action on Sunday afternoon at Titan Field.
Detroit Mercy (3-7-2, 1-3-1 HL) had a pair of good chances in the first half to take the lead. In the 17th minute, Hughes fired a hard shot that the goalkeeper knocked down, making the save that resulted in a loose ball rebound that the Titans couldn't put home. In the 26th minute, junior
Teagan Ferrington connected on a header off a corner kick, but it rang off the post.
YSU (4-7-3, 4-0-1 HL) then capitalized, getting on the board in the 41st minute to take a 1-0 lead into the half.
The Penguins added tallies in the 49th and 58th minutes to take a commanding 3-0 second-half lead.
The Titans kept fighting and had two more chances to cut into the deficit. Stauffer fired a shot on a rope past the goalie, but it rang off the crossbar in the 62nd minute. Just 11 minutes later, graduate student
Avery Mondoux put home a cross into the back of the net, but the goal was disallowed due to offsides.
Detroit Mercy hits the road for a three-game road swing starting at Cleveland State on Saturday, Oct. 10 at 1 p.m.
