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.

  • 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.
