WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Sophomore Jess Riordan (Vineland, N.J./Our Lady of Mercy) tallied double-digit saves for the second straight game, but Goucher College used a first-half goal to capture a 1-0 victory on Wednesday, Sept. 4 in non-conference action at UPMC Field.
 
Riordan kept the Warriors (1-2 overall) in striking distance, finishing with 11 saves, while facing 19 Gopher shots.
 
Finley Lindsey scored the game-winning goal at the top of the box in the 45^th minute off assists from Emerson Jewart and Olivia Chinitz.
 
The Warriors best chance came in the final minute of regulation, drawing a foul just outside the top of the goal box. With the clock ticking near 30 seconds left, sophomore Alicia Blizzard (Lebanon, Pa./Cedar Crest) fired a shot low that was just a bit too quick for a charging Warrior attacker, falling into the keeper's hands.
 
Christina Charikofsky earned the victory in net for the Gophers (3-0 overall), making one save.
 
Sophomore Megan Oyler (Bedford, Pa./Bedford) led the Warriors with two shots, while junior Elle Sarracco (Wantage, N.J./High Point Regional), Blizzard and freshman Gabby Perez (Vineland, N.J./Vineland) each had one.
 
The Warriors are back on the field when they head to Bethany College on Saturday, Sept. 7, at 1:30 p.m., for a non-conference match at Hoag Field.
