The St. John Fisher College women's soccer team was defeated by East Avenue rival Nazareth College 2-0 Wednesday night. The rain-delayed loss dropped the Cardinals' record to 2-8 overall and 0-3 in the Empire 8 Conference.

 

Nazareth came out and scored early, going up 1-0 on a Jessica Jones goal from the top left corner of the box in the fourth minute of play. The score remained 1-0 for the rest of the first half, with Fisher's best attempt coming in the 26^th minute when Kelly Zeppetella went one on one with the Golden Flyers' goalie and missed narrowly, sending a shot that ricocheted off the left post.

 

In the second half the Golden Flyers added another goal when Ashley Clinton bounced a header in on a cross from Jones. The goal came just minutes before a rain delay stalled the game for a 20-minute period.

 

Fisher will return to action on Saturday when they travel to Clarkson to face the Golden Knights at noon in a non-conference matchup.
