Wildcats Suffer 2-0 Setback To Assumption In Season Opener

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Assumption University scored two first-half goals and held on for a 2-0 victory over Daemen University in NCAA Division II women's soccer action tonight at Dobson Field in downtown Buffalo. It marked the 2023 season opener for both teams.

HIGHLIGHTS
  • Assumption opened the scoring just 11 minutes into the game when junior Amaia Astiasaran took a pass from sophomore Haley Brown and fired a shot over Daemen sophomore netminder Becca Schultz (Grand Island, N.Y.) from 20 yards out.
  • The Greyhounds doubled their lead with just over 14 minutes left in the first half. Senior Kate Carlson lofted a shot from 25 yards out over Schultz. Junior Ashley Smith picked up the assist.
  • The teams combined for 17 shots in the second half, but only six of the shots were on goal, four by Assumption and two by Daemen.
  • Schultz went the distance in goal for the Wildcats and made a career-high seven saves. Freshman Frida Larsson made two saves for the Greyhounds in her collegiate debut.

  • Assumption posted a 17-10 advantage in total shots and a 9-2 edge in shots on goal.
  • Freshman midfielder Magda Carpenter (Lebanon, Conn.) played all 90 minutes in her collegiate debut for Daemen and finished with a team-high four shots.
