LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. —
Aleisa Clarke (Kingston, Jamaica) scored her first goal of the season to pull Lincoln University even in the second half, but a late Dominican University of New York goal handed the Lions a 2–1 setback Friday afternoon at LU Athletics Stadium in Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference action.
The home finale also marked Senior Day as Lincoln celebrated
Nevaeh Washington (Philadelphia, PA),
Ricyonna Walker (Kingston, Jamaica),
Jordan Allison (Baltimore, MD) and
Ariel Reyes (Valley Stream, NY) for their contributions to the program.
Dominican opened the scoring at the 26:04 mark when Seutvilay Vorabouth finished off an assist from Zaina Aburomi. Lincoln generated two first-half opportunities through
Breanna Steen (Bethel, CT), who put both attempts on target, but the Chargers carried a 1–0 advantage into halftime.
Washington recorded two saves during the opening 45 minutes before Reyes took over in goal to begin the second half.
The Lions continued to push for the equalizer.
Symone Brooks (Oxford, PA) tested Dominican goalkeeper Lia Rivera with a shot on goal at 68:50 before Clarke delivered just over two minutes later. Her unassisted goal at 71:01 tied the match at 1–1 with nearly 19 minutes remaining.
Lincoln kept the contest level until the 84:26 mark, when Kendall McGregor scored the deciding goal for Dominican.
The Lions placed all four of their shots on goal. Steen led Lincoln with two attempts, while Clarke and Brooks each added one. Dominican finished with eight shots, including five on target, and held a 5–1 advantage in corner kicks.
