Mountain Lions Take Down Women's Soccer

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — In the first road game of the 2024 season, the St. Mary's University Women's Soccer team posted six shots on goal but fell 2-0 to the UCCS Mountain Lions on Thursday night.
 
Juniors Shelby Paniagua (Cibolo, Texas) and Sydney Varela (El Paso, Texas) each had two shots on goal, but the Mountain Lions (1-1-1) freshman goalkeeper Alexa Malaspina made six saves to keep the Rattlers (1-2) off the scoreboard for the second time this season.
 
The two teams were scoreless in the first half, but UCCS came out with much more intensity than they did in the first half, scoring a pair of goals in under 13 minutes.
 
StMU senior keeper Rebecca Difronzo (Bari, Italy) made a great stop on a penalty kick in the 80th minute to keep the score at 2-0. The Rattlers were whistled for a handball deep in the penalty box, but Difronzo made the correct move, diving to her left for the save. She ended the contest with six saves.
 
In the final five minutes, the Rattlers managed four shots on goal, but the Lions keeper remained alert to keep the clean sheet.
 
St. Mary's remains in Colorado, headed north to Denver to face Regis on Saturday at Noon (CT)/11 a.m. (MT). The Rangers lost 3-0 to Simon Fraser on Thursday evening to fall to 0-3 on the year.
