History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n PHILADELPHIA \u2013 The University of Pennsylvania women’s soccer team fell to Columbia, 3-2, on Saturday afternoon at Rhodes Field after surrendering three goals in the final 14 minutes. The Quakers built a 2-0 lead behind second-half goals from Magali Capdevila<\/a> and Lily White<\/a>, but the Lions rallied to score three times and take the contest.<\/p>\n Quaker Notemeal *The Quakers scored twice, tying their season high for goals in an Ivy League game.<\/p>\n *Magali Capdevila<\/a> and Lily White<\/a> each scored their second goal of the season, while Abbey Cook<\/a> recorded an assist. White moved up to third on the team with nine points while Capdevila is right behind her with seven.\u00a0<\/p>\n *Cook led Penn with three shots, including one on goal, while White also recorded three shots and one shot on goal.<\/p>\n *Cook’s assist added to her team high 12 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n *Penn finished with 11 shots, including three on goal, and four corner kicks.<\/p>\n *Ria Desai<\/a> made one save in goal.<\/p>\n *Columbia improved to 4-6-3 overall and 3-1-0 in Ivy League play, scoring three second-half goals to earn the 3-2 win.<\/p>\n *Maia Beltran scored a goal and added an assist, while Evelyn Javers and Krystal Medina also scored for the Lions.<\/p>\n *Columbia finished with 12 shots, including four on goal, and six corner kicks.<\/p>\n How It Happened<\/p>\n The two teams traded chances throughout a scoreless first half. Columbia tested Desai early with a shot from just outside the box, but the Penn goalkeeper dove to make the save. The Lions later sent a free kick from roughly 30 feet wide of the goal, while a shot from beyond the 18-yard box sailed just high with 5:30 remaining in the half.<\/p>\n Penn created a chance of its own in the closing minutes when Abbey Cook<\/a> drove into the box and sent a cross off a Columbia defender to earn a corner kick. The Lions responded with back-to-back corners, but Casey Forman<\/a> blocked a shot inside the box to keep the match scoreless heading into halftime.<\/p>\n The Quakers broke through in the 50th minute. Cook received the ball just beyond midfield, won a one-on-one battle and drove into the box before crossing to a wide-open Capdevila. Capdevila finished with her right foot just inside the post to give Penn a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n Penn doubled its advantage in the 75th minute following a corner kick. After the ball was sent into the box and cleared toward the top of the area, White collected it outside the 18 and unleashed a left-footed shot that tucked beneath the crossbar to make it 2-0.<\/p>\n Columbia answered less than two minutes later. After a handball was called on Ferraro inside the box, Beltran converted the ensuing penalty kick into the top-left corner to cut the deficit to 2-1 in the 76th minute.<\/p>\n The Lions leveled the score in the 78th minute after a corner kick was cleared toward the edge of the box. A Columbia shot from outside the 18 deflected toward the near post, where Javers was waiting to finish and make it 2-2.<\/p>\n Columbia completed the comeback in the 89th minute. A corner kick sailed just over Capdevila and found Medina, who finished from just inside the 18 to give the Lions a 3-2 lead with 1:03 remaining. Penn was unable to find an equalizer in the closing moments.<\/p>\n Up Next<\/p>\n The Quakers continue Ivy League play at Cornell next Saturday at 1:00 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n #FightOnPenn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
