Box Score ONEONTA, N.Y. – Looking to earn its first conference win of the season on Saturday, the women's soccer team at the State University of New York at New Paltz fell just short at SUNY Oneonta, losing 1-0 in a Catskill Cup contest at Red Dragon Field.
The Hawks (1-13-2, 0-7-0 SUNYAC) battled the Red Dragons (8-3-4, 5-1-1 SUNYAC) to a scoreless first half of action despite being outshot 12-2 during the opening period.
Unfortunately, in the 57th minute Oneonta notched the game's only goal as the Red Dragons held on in the rivalry match.
Junior forward Gabriella Cabello (Hauppauge, NY/Smithtown West) accounted for all the offense for the Hawks, registering the team's two shots, with one being on goal.
Freshman goalkeeper Angela Ratka (Farmington, NY/Victor) suffered the defeat but managed to make eight saves in the loss.
Oneonta earned two points in the Catskill Cup standings but New Paltz still holds the overall lead thus far in the fall season, 7-2.
New Paltz will conclude the season on the road next weekend Oct. 21-22, traveling to SUNY Fredonia before playing at Buffalo State.
