tigers fall in finale JOHN HACK Staff Writer
Towson’s final game of the 2018 campaign ended in gut wrenching fashion as the Tigers fell to UNC-Wilmington on the road, 4-3 Sunday afternoon. Inside four minutes, forward Jenna Blank dished a pass over to Junior forward Christiana Davey, who placed the ball past the Wilmington keeper for her first career goal as a Tiger. Unfortunately for the Tigers, the lead did not last long as the Seahawks evened the score in the sixth minute when a shot from a Wilmington player rang off the post before another Seahawk collected the rebound and slotted the ball into the lower left corner. Despite UNCW’s quick response, the Tigers nearly struck again.
Davey almost added to her second tally of the day when she took a shot on goal a minute after UNCW’s equalizer, but the goalie was up to the task with a save. Then, after nearly 30 minutes filled with substitutions and corner kicks, Junior Justine Stoner nearly put Towson back in front when she struck the ball wide right of the post. In the 40th minute, defender Danielle Gardener added another opportunity for Towson to take the lead, but the ball was, again, stopped by the Seahawks keeper. Things seemed to be going downhill when, 5 minutes before the half, UNCW added another tally when a shot from about 30 yards out found it’s way to the top right corner to take a 2-1 lead heading into the break. Then in the 57th minute, the Seahawks added to their lead when a deflected shot formed a loose
ball in front of the Towson goal that wound up on the foot of an opponent. At this point, it would have been easy to count the Tigers out considering they were facing an uphill climb against an 8-6 squad currently in playoff contention, but they kept their heads up. In the 61st minute, Freshman Jenna Blank helped swing momentum back in Towson’s favor when the forward forced a turnover and made a great run before guiding the ball into the bottom left corner for her 3rd goal of the season. Providing another spark for the team was midfielder Olivia Ramirez, who, in the 73rd minute, nearly knotted the score when her shot was saved. Nikki Logan and Evelyn Neidert provided more shots that were either also saved or flew just wide of the post. - To read the rest of this story online, visit thetowerlight.com.
