Barry women drop season opener

8/24/07

DENVER, Colo. – The Barry University women’s soccer team (0-1-0) dropped their first match of the season to the Regis University Rangers, 3-1, on Friday afternoon at Ranger Field.

Within the first four minutes of the game, senior Erin Bevacqua scored the first goal of the season for the Rangers. Regis picked the lucky card of the day as junior Carter Cornett scored the second goal for the Rangers from the unfortunate reflection off of Barry’s keeper Sami Cromartie’s shin to put Barry down 2-0 within the first 20 minutes.

With less than ten minutes reminaing in the game, Ranger defenders successfully cleared the ball only to be put back in by junior Kalie Adkinson. Adkinson’s power kick was just enough to clear the heads of the Ranger defenders and reach awaiting junior Elanna Brady for the Buccaneers’ first and only goal of the game.

The Buccaneers will close out their time in Colorado on Sunday, Aug. 26 against Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colo. at 11:00 am.
