Houghton
Comes Up Short to Ramapo In Overtime, 2-1
Box Score
Houghton,
N.Y. –
The
Lady Highlanders dominated the wet field against Ramapo College (NJ) today, but
fell to the Lady Roadrunners 2-1 in overtime. The scoreboard did not reflect
the game today with Houghton out-shooting Ramapo 24-12.
The
Highlanders first and only goal came in the 31st minute when
Fr. Carissa Lang (Pittsford, NY) scored her
first goal of the season by slamming the ball in on the far post past the
Ramapo goalkeeper, off one of Houghton’s many corners, this time a cross from
Fr. Ashley Hoffman (Webster, NY).
Despite
the Highlanders dominance, it did not result in a win for them today. Houghton
took the Lady Roadrunners to sudden death overtime, but were unable to defeat
Ramapo.
The
Highlanders look to improve their current 7-6-0 record at their next game on
October 27th against Seton Hill at home on the Alumni Athletic
Complex Field at 4:00 PM.
Houghton College
has deep
and
solid
roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our
teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play
and
in the classroom, as a platform for their strong and
unique
emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference
for the Kingdom
on campus, in Allegany County,
in the Northeast and
around
the world.
Houghton is one of only 13 institutions who have been hand-selected
by the NAIA to serve as "Champions of Character" Program Centers, opening the door
for Houghton to be a leader,
both in the Northeast and
nationally, in character education.
Through hands-on,
innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and
student-athletes
are working together to change the culture of sport and
to change our culture through sport.
