Garnet Fight Knights to a Draw
Swarthmore fought valiantly for 90 minutes of regulation and 20 minutes of overtime, settling for a 0-0 tie at Neumann College on Thursday afternoon.
Junior forward Natalie Negrey '07, freshman Anna de Regt, and senior Becky Strauss all had excellent chances to score for the Garnet, yet were unable to find the back of the net. The Swarthmore effort was a positive one, being the first full-game action the team has seen in almost 10 months.
Swarthmore will look to get the scoring started this coming weekend. The Garnet open their home schedule on Saturday afternoon in the annual Swat Kick Classic. Swarthmore will host Earlham (IN) in the 2:00 p.m. game on Clothier Field, while Alvernia and Widener will square off in the first game, beginning at 12:00 p.m.
Be sure to stick around all weekend for Garnet women's soccer; the consolation and championship games of the Kick Classic will take place at 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., respectively, on Sunday at Clothier Field.
