Robert Morris Shot Down By Air Force

Colorado Springs, Colo. / Cadet Soccer Stadium - The Robert Morris University women's soccer team opened a four-game road trip with a 3-0 loss at Air Force Friday night. Two Colonials goalkeepers, freshman Chelsea de Jager (Grimsby, Ontario / Governor Simcoe) and sophomore Becky Schoenecker (Cheswick, Pa. / Fox Chapel), combined to stop 13 shots as RMU fell to 0-6-1 on the year. Air Force improves to 3-1-2 with the victory.

de Jager made nine saves while allowing three markers in just under 69 minutes in net. Schoenecker stopped all four shots she faced over the final 21 minutes of the contest.

Stephanie Patter tallied a pair of goals in a span of just 3:38 early in the second half. Her first score came off a free kick in the 55th minute. She then knocked home a cross from Megan Dozier in the 58th minute to stake the Cadets to a 2-0 lead. Bailee Harnett finished things off in the 62nd minute with a pinpoint strike from 30 yards out.

Robert Morris managed 10 shots, three coming from senior Leah Prentice (Gaithersburg, Md. / Quince Orchard).

Kelly Stambaugh and Becky Murphy each had one save for Air Force to share the shutout.

The Colonials have a 1:00 meeting with Colorado College Sunday, Sept. 9.
