The York University Lions women's soccer team played against the McMaster Marauders at Alumni Field after three straight away-games on Friday,  and dropped a close 1-0 game. The loss was payback as the Lions were able to previously beat the Marauders during an away game three weeks ago when the Lions won 1-0 against the McMaster. 

The first half of the game saw many good saves from both the Lions and the Marauders. McMaster had a few opportunities to score against the Lions, however, Lions' goalkeeper, Tamara Orlando was able to save two of McMaster's shots. Marauder's goalkeeper Jayashree Pathak countered with three strong saves of her own in the first half on two attempts from midfielder Catherine Umoloc and one by Jotam Chouhan. 

The Lions and the Marauders were tied nil-nil going into half-time. 

The second half started off much like the first, but the Marauders scored a flukie goal 60 yards from the Lions' net, when a long kick from Carling Goold bounded over Orlando's head and into the net.  

The remainder of the game saw strong saves from Orlando as the Marauders attempted to score their second goal. The Lions' offense also powered forward to try to score their first goal of the game but were unable to find the back of the net.

The game ended in a 1-0 win for the Marauders during York 9FC Day.

The Lions, who were on a four-game undefeated streak, return to action against the Brock Badgers at York's Alumni Field on Sunday, Sept. 30.
