ERIE, Pa. – Senior
Lexy Endres (Medford, N.J./Shawnee) was at it again. The midfielder scored two goals and helped give Kutztown women's soccer its first victory of the season, defeating Concord 2-1 Saturday afternoon at Gannon University.
The Golden Bears (1-0-1 overall) doubled up their total from the season opener where they tied Charleston 1-1. Endres also had that goal and has all three tallies on the season for KU.
The two strikes from Endres were both important, as the first one, in the 61st minute, tied the game after the Mountain Lions (0-1-1) broke the deadlock with a 50th minute goal, following a scoreless first half. Her second of the game, in the 81st minute, proved to be the game winner as the defense and
Cassandra Baker (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin) kept Concord out of the net the final 10 minutes. Baker finished with five saves, getting her first start of the season.
Dana Wentz (Lancaster, Pa./Conestoga Valley) and
Caroline Thompson (Pottstown, Pa./Owen J. Roberts) assisted on the first goal, while
Caroline McDonald (Exton, Pa./Downingtown East) had the assist on the second.
The Maroon and Gold outshot the Mountain Lions 19-9 overall, 8-6 on goal, and had an 8-3 advantage in corner kicks.
Kutztown will make its home debut as it opens up play in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference when it hosts Millersville next Wednesday, Sept. 6, at 7 p.m., from Keystone Field.
