The Lady Lions finished up
their tough week by winning
two of their last three to stand
at 7-3 for the season. On
Thursday the Lady Lions
dramatically beat SUNY-
Fredonia 1-0 in the last half
minute of double overtime.
They lost on Saturday to St.
John Fisher 2-0, then on
Tuesday knocked off Pitt-
Bradford 4-0.
The win against Fredonia
was outstanding as both teams
were knotted at 0-0 at the end
jf regulation. With time
running out in overtime,
neither team had converted their
chances and the score was still
even.
But in the last half minute of
play, Michelle Finch scored on
a free kick to give the Lady
Lions an emotional and
dramatic win 1-0.
“I’m just glad I could come
through when I was counted
on," remarked Finch.
“It’s what Finch has been
doing for us all year,”
commented an excited Head
Coach Dan Perritano. “It’s an
exciting moment that I hope
the players (will always)
remember.”
“We came out flat (against
Fredonia), and played well in
the second half,” said Assistant
Coach Chuck Baranich about
the Lady Lions. “We really
picked it up as the game went
on.”
“We were really relieved

(when Finch scored),” said
Sophomore Lisa Fox. “It was
a flashback of the Grove City
game last year.”
The Lady Lions were back
on the field Saturday against
St John Fisher and seemed to
be very tired after playing four
games in seven days, two of
which went into overtime.
They gave up two to Fisher,
one in the first and one in the
second to fall 2-0.
“We played really well,” said
Baranich downplaying the loss.
“The (long) week took a toll
on the players. You could tell
that by the end of the game.”
Pitt-Bradford was next up for
the Lady Lions. They
destroyed PB last year 16-0,
and defeated them 8-0 earlier
this year. Although Pitt-
Bradford played tough soccer
they couldn’t stop Finch.
The senior sweeped assisted
Lara Herrmann and Melissa
Snyder on goals and scored one
herself unassisted for a 4-0
Lady Lions win. Lauren
Arrigo also notched a goal for
the victors. The shutout was
the seventh of the year for
netminder Mary Anne Rupp.
“Pitt-Bradford was very
improved,” commented
Perritano. “(We) played well
as a team. We connected our
passes and scored goals.”
“Finch played exceptionally
well and really kept the defense
together,” Arrigo said.
Finch declined to comment
on her played but instead said
that the “team played very
well.
