WINCHESTER, VA. – The Juniata women's soccer team traveled to Winchester, Va. for a Saturday afternoon match with Shenandoah University. The Eagles fell to the Hornets 2-0.

Junior goalkeeper Kerry Leonard (Cockeysville, Md./ Maryvale Prep.) recorded eight saves, two within the first two minutes of play. She successfully turned away four shots in the first period until one snuck through in the 41^st minute. Leonard saved one more in the 42^nd minute to keep the game 1-0 at halftime.

In the 57^th minute, Leonard blocked yet another shot. Shortly after, Shenandoah's Emily Yergin scored on an "incredible strike from a terrible angle," according to Juniata's head coach Scott McKenzie. Olivia Claycomb (Saxton, Pa./Tussey Mountain) and Wynter Adams (Houtzdale, Pa./Moshannon Valley) each attempted on-target shots in the second half, however, neither were able to get by the Hornets' goalkeeper.

Shenandoah out-shot Juniata 15-7 in the contest with ten shots on goals. There were a total of five corner kicks in the game with JC holding a 3-2 advantage.

Coach McKenzie said, after an even first half, Shenandoah "saw Juniata a little more on [their] heels. They can take a lot from this game and I am very proud of the women today."

The Eagles face the University of Pitt--Bradford in their home-opener on Wednesday, September 7 at 3:00 PM. It will be the first contest at the newly built Gibbel Stadium.
