WSOC Notes - 8.30 Update
Last Night In #BIGEASTwsoc
Seton Hall 1, Quinnipiac 0
A 73rd minute blast from sophomore Cassy Harrigan proved to be the game-winning tally in a 1-0 victory for the Seton Hall women's soccer team at Quinnipiac on Wednesday night. The Pirates (2-2-1) maintained control of the ball for seemingly the entirety of the match, and played staunch defense resulting in a lopsided 19-7 advantage in shots. In the 73rd minute, senior Lauren Garcia fired a corner kick into the box where it found the head of Harrigan, who buried it in the back of the net for the eventual game-winner. A gritty play by sophomore Atley Fortney involving the Quinnipiac keeper forced the corner kick opportunity.
