WOMEN'S SOCCER COMES FROM BEHIND TO DEFEAT MARSHALL

Madeleine Morrissey, Alex Powell and Meghan Blank Scored For UD

HUNTINGTON, W. Va. –  The University of Dayton women's soccer team came back from a 2-0 first-half deficit to defeat Marshall 3-2 in an exhibition match Friday night at Veterans Memorial Complex.
 
"We started off slow and didn't look like we have been in training," said Head Coach Mike Tucker.  "We gave up goals early, but I really like the way the team reacted. We got organized, played the last 60 minutes really well, giving up just one shot and scoring some really good goals."
 
Flyer goals were scored by freshmen Madeleine Morrissey and Alex Powell, and senior Meghan Blank.
 
All three goalkeepers, Jenna DiTusa, Kaelyn Johns, and Emily Jones, saw action for Dayton.
 
Dayton opens the regular season at Cincinnati Friday, Aug. 19 at 7 p.m. at Gettler Stadium.
