River Hawk Women’s Soccer Takes Down Drew in Regular-Season Finale on Senior Day

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – The Susquehanna University women's soccer team gave their six seniors a memorable farewell Saturday afternoon. Susquehanna (14-3-1, 6-1-0 LC) posted a 3-1 Landmark Conference victory over Drew University (8-9-0, 3-4-0 LC) and claimed the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Landmark Conference Championship.
 
The defending Landmark Conference champions, the River Hawks are the No. 1 seed in the conference playoffs for the first time in program history after finishing the regular season with a 6-1-0 league record. Susquehanna will host No. 4 seed The Catholic University of America on Wednesday, November 6 at 6:00 p.m. on Sassafras Field. Wednesday's other semifinal matchup will feature No. 3 seed University of Scranton at No. 2 seed Elizabethtown College.
 
Prior to the start of the match, Susquehanna recognized its six seniors – defender Nikki Ganiaris (Northport, N.Y./St. Anthony's), forward Hayley Steinmetz (Stewartsville, N.J./Phillipsburg), and midfielders Alee Pettit (Harding, Pa./Wyoming Area Secondary Center), Katie Beluch (Voorhees, N.J./Eastern Regional), Jenny Charles (Nazareth, Pa./Nazareth Area), and Carly Ackerina (Carle Place, N.Y./Carle Place).

How It Happened
  • Following a scoreless first half, which saw the River Hawks post a 5-1 shot advantage as well as a 7-1 margin in corner kicks, SU finally broke through when first-year midfielder Gillian Maack (Mohnton, Pa./Gov. Mifflin) tapped in a cross from sophomore forward Anna Werner (Mohnton, Pa./Gov. Mifflin) in the 47th minute for her fifth of the season.
  • Sophomore defender Marley Clendenin (Bethesda, Md./Bethesda-Chevy Chase) tallied her second of the season in the 79th minute as Clendenin took a few dribbles before finishing a turnaround shot into the top left corner from about 25 yards out.
  • Drew avoided the shutout loss in the 85th minute when Julia Caracappa corralled a cross from Sydney Ziemba and slipped it past junior captain Madi Welliver (Turbotville, Pa./Warrior Run) for her first score of the year.
  • Werner finished off the scoring for Susquehanna as she dribbled down the right side into the penalty box and polished off a laser shot into the far left bottom corner for her team-leading 14th goal of the season.
