Moon Township, Pa. -- Despite sloppy playing conditions and a half-hour delay, the Youngstown State women's soccer team played one of its best overall games of the season and knocked off Robert Morris, 3-1, on Sunday afternoon at the North Athletic Complex at RMU.
The Penguins won for the second straight time and improved to 2-2 on the year, while the Colonials fell to 1-2.
Junior Katie Hohmann scored a goal and assisted on another while senior Cara Armstrong and freshman Alex Kithcart also scored goals. Senior Chelsey Haney assisted on Hohmann's and Kithcart's goals and Hohmann and senior Brittany Tenis were credited with an assist on Armstrong's goal.
From the start, the Penguins controlled possession of the ball and pelted the Robert Morris goalkeepers with 15 shots and 10 shots on goal.
Just 16 minutes into the match, Armstrong scored her first goal of the year to give the Penguins a 1-0 lead. Hohmann floated a corner kick toward the goal and, after a rebound off of Tenis, Armstrong kneed the ball into the open net at the 28:49 mark of the first half.
The Penguins extended their lead to 2-0 when Haney fielded a throw in and centered the ball to Hohmann who drilled a one-timer over the goalkeeper from 20 yards out.
With 23 minutes left in the second half, Haney delivered another excellent cross into the box and Kithcart found the upper-right corner of the net for her first career goal.
Robert Morris erased the shutout with a goal with just 3:02 left in the match.
YSU goalkeeper Jackie Podolsky collected two saves and recorded her first win of the season and the 10th of her career.
The Penguins return home to host Malone, Friday, Sept. 5, at 6 p.m. at Farmers National Bank Field.
