WSOC: Panthers nipped at Castleton

CASTLETON, Vt. – Castleton University scored a pair of second half goals to rally past Plymouth State University, 2-1, in a Little East Conference (LEC) women's soccer game at Dave Wolk Stadium on Wednesday night.
 
Sophomore Jackie Dizney (Foxborough, Mass.) gave the Panthers the lead with her first career goal in the 32nd minute and PSU would remain in front through the intermission. Castleton evened the score at the 49th minute and pulled ahead in the 55th minute to hold on for the win.
 
Plymouth State falls to an even 1-1 (1-1 LEC), while the Spartans improve to 2-0 (2-0 LEC).
 
The Basics:
  • Plymouth State 1, Castleton 2
    • Plymouth State (1-1, 1-1 LEC)
    • Castleton (2-0, 2-0 LEC)
Top Performers: How it Happened:
  • The teams went back-and-forth throughout the opening half. Junior goalkeeper Cat Robbins (Franklin, Mass.) was stellar for the Panthers, making five saves as PSU was outshot by a 9-4 margin.
  • Senior Dehlia Wright (Newport, Vt.) crossed a ball from the right side that was misplayed by a Spartans' defender. Dizney collected, created space and sent a left-footed shot just inside the far post to give the Panthers the lead in the 32nd minute.
  • Robbins was tested in the 41st minute when a through ball split the defense and led to one-on-one, but she came out and smothered the ball to preserve the lead. Robbins made another tough save on a low-angle, close-range shot with just over a minute remaining in the half as PSU remained in front at the break.
  • Castleton pulled even in the 48th minute with a blast from 23 yards out over the head of goalkeeper Elena Register (Helena, Ala.).
  • The Spartans took the lead six minutes later and the hosts were able to hold on for the win.
By the Numbers:
  • Castleton owned a 22-8 advantage in shots and 11-4 in shots on goal.
  • PSU had a 2-1 edge in corner kicks.
  • Robbins made five saves in the first half, while Register (0-1) stopped four shots over the final 45 minutes.
  • Junior Sarah Hicks (Sutton, Mass.) led the Panthers with three shots.
  • The two teams have met 14 times with each side winning six games and two ending in ties, though the Panthers are just 1-5-1 on the road in the all-time series.
Up Next:
  • Plymouth State heads to the University of Southern Maine on Sunday (Apr. 11) for a 2:30 p.m. clash with the Huskies.
