Hilbert Falls in Shut-Out Loss At Home

HAMBURG, N.Y. – Hilbert College split their Buffalo Cup games this year as they dropped a 3-0 loss to D'Youville today after beating Medaille College earlier in the season.

The Hawks fell to 2-11-1 and 2-6 while the Spartans improved to 6-7-2 and 4-3 which kept their post-season play-off hopes alive.

After 30-minutes of score-less action, D'Youville's Victoria Mayer scored the game-winner with a hard shot from the endline that hooked back over Jenna Castricone's hands to the back of the net.   

Hilbert pushed hard on the final third during the first half attempting six corner kicks but that 1-0 score held through intermission and five minutes into the second period.  The Spartans picked-up two more goals before the final horn for the win.

Castricone finished with four saves in the first 72 minutes. Brianna Stegmeier closed the game with another shut-out period making three saves in 17 minutes.

Hilbert took 13 shots with Emily Gawlak posting a team-high four.  Nicole Plucinski and Brooklynn Gormel, two defenders, trailed with three and two shots, respectively.

"It wasn't our best performance this afternoon, and unfortunately we had a tough time finding the back of the net," said coach Kelly Starchok.  "It's a tough loss to take especially it being a Buffalo Cup game against a cross-town rival."

The women's soccer program will honor their three graduating players this weekend when they host Pitt-Greensburg in a 3:15pm AMCC contest.  The Senior Day celebration will take place prior to the game's normal pre-game introductions.   Please arrive early and cheer the men's team to victory before the women honor Jenna Castricone, Brooklynn Gormel and Nicole Plucinski.
