Women’s Soccer Suffers Disappointing Overtime Loss to Mercy

Roberts Wesleyan had a 3-1 lead going into the last ten minutes of play but could not hold on.

Rochester, N.Y. (October 5, 2014) – The Women's Soccer team fell in over time to Mercy 4-3 this afternoon in conference play.

The game was looking up for the Redhawks when Heaven Palamitia scored about ten minutes into play off a pass from Bella Mitrevski to the top of the 18 yard box. Palamitia finished the shot in the low left corner. Mercy came back to tie the half in the 33rd minute off of a free kick.

Roberts Wesleyan started the second half strong. Ellie Swan broke through Mercy's defense from a through ball by Palamitia to put Roberts Wesleyan in the lead. In the closing minutes of the game Palamitia again slotted a ball to Mitrevski for the Redhawks third goal.
