HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. – Junior Stephanie Williams scored her first goal as a Cyclone but the Centenary University women's soccer fell to Ithaca College in the first game of the Cyclone Kickoff Classic on Friday afternoon.

The Bombers scored a goal in first half and two in the second stanza and claimed the 3-1 win despite Williams' late goal.

Shoshana Bedrosian scored the first of her three goals on the day at 16:03 of the first half and the Bombers held an early lead.

Bedrosian's second half goals were assisted by Alex Epifani and Ally Christman.

The Cyclones finally got on the board in the 78th minute as junior Chloe Christopher pushed the ball up field and crossed it into the center of the box where Williams was able to knock it home.

Both teams had chances to convert down the stretch but neither was able to convert as Ithaca secured the victory.

Ithaca out shot the Cyclones 22-8 in the contest and held a 10-2 advantage in corner kicks.

Sara Jacobsze made four saves to earn the win in goal for Ithaca. Freshman Rachel Colt made six saves in her collegiate debut for the Cyclones.
