Carrie Wack's Goal Not Enough in 2-1 Loss to Albany

    Albany, N.Y. -- Senior Carrie Wack put the Penguins on the board against Albany while four other members of the team made shots on goal in attempts to take the lead. The Penguins took a total eight shots on goal, but came up short in the 2-1 loss to Albany on Friday evening.
    YSU started attacking the net early  with Jodi Bowlen's shot at just 47 seconds into play. Natalie Brady and Wack each took shots as well for the Guins before Albany scored the first goal of the evening. Ashley Tirabassi fired the shot from six yards out on the left corner to put the Great Danes up 1-0 at the half

    Brittny Humphrey and Lauren Brennan both attempted shots early in the second half while Mariah Snyder collected two more saves. Teresa Boring then knocked in a header goal from the six yard line that would put Albany up 2-0.

    The Guins continued to fire shots in hopes of narrowing the scoring deficit. Wack's shot on a fast break down the field at the 79 minute mark helped to bring the Guins within one goal of Albany.

    YSU held the Great Danes for the remainder the game, but could not tie match in the final 11 minutes. With the win, Albany improves to 2-2, while YSU falls to 0-3.

    The Penguins will be back in action on the road on Sunday at 11 a.m. to take on Siena.
