For the second day in a row, the Fredonia State women's soccer team won a 1-0 game thanks to junior Gabby Alston (Niskayuna/Niskayuna), who scored early in the second half. Alston's goal downed Baldwin Wallace (0-3-0) and came just under four minutes into the second half. Junior Sabrina Suriani (Manlius/Fayetteville-Manlius) made three saves in earning her second shutout in as many days.
The game was a defensive battle. In the first half, the Devils took only one shot, and the Yellow Jackets took two. The Devils first shot in the second half -- and only shot on goal for the game -- proved to be enough as Alston beat the BW goalie Maddie Hoffman with a low shot in the left corner. Hoffman finished with no saves.
For the game, Baldwin Wallace outshot the Devils, 6-3, while Fredonia State had a 6-1 advantage in corner kicks.
BW had a chance to tie the game in the 57th minute when a shot by Natalie Stewart hit the crossbar. Stewart led the team with three shots, including two on goal.
The Devils (2-0-1) return home for the next weekend when they play in the annual Blue Devil invitational. There will be eight games featuring both the men's and women's teams at University Stadium and the turf field over Friday and Saturday.
