| Struthers, Ohio -- Youngstown State sophomore Katie Deprey scored her second goal of the season to lift the Penguins (2-15, 1-5 Horizon League) to their first Horizon League win with a 1-0 victory over Loyola (6-10, 1-5 Horizon League) on Thursday afternoon at the James J. Simon, Sr. Soccer Park. After a Loyola foul, junior Kim Jugenheimer raced the ball up the left sideline to midfield and found sophomore Jessica Yarter. Yarter dribbled the ball into Rambler territory where she found Deprey crossing the middle of the field. Beating all Loyola's defenders to the penalty box, Deprey lofted a shot over the out-stretched arms of Loyola goalkeeper Emily Peick and found the net at the 73:06 mark. Jugenheimer and Yarter were both credited with their second assist of the season. YSU goalkeeper Mia Railing recorded her first shutout of the season and tallied five saves. The Penguins conclude their regular season against Akron, Sunday, Nov. 2, at 1 p.m. in Akron, Ohio. |
