Tigers Take Down Sagehens

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Oct. 22, 2008) – Maddy Raschtimed her first collegiate goal perfectly as she sank the winning goal in the Tigers’ ever so slim 1-0 victory over Pomona-Pitzer today.

The Lower Soccer Field saw the only offense of the day in the eighth minute of action when Rasch was alert to the ricochet of a shot Jesi Saski  hit off the cross bar, finding the back of the net.

Midway though the second half Oxy had seemingly scored again when Corinne Winkler sent the ball past PP goalie Caroline Flynn, but moments later the goal was erased by the referees.

A defensive battle ensued for the remainder of the game.

The Tigers were able to fire off 12 total shots, seven on goal with Flynn stopping six of those. Pomona-Pitzer took the advantage with 14 shots taken, also taking seven shots on goal, with Oxy goalie Robin Feldman recording seven saves.

While the Sagehens held the shot advantage, the Tigers were awarded six corner kick opportunities to Pomona-Pitzer’s four.

Occidental improves to .500 overall at 6-6 and are now 5-4 in SCIAC play. Pomona-Pitzer falls to 6-8-1, 4-5-1.

Saturday, Oct. 25 the Tigers will travel to Redlands to face the Bulldogs at 11:00 a.m.
