Women's Soccer Falters in Season Opener

SAN ANTONIO — Two quick scores by the visiting Lynn Fighting Knights put the St. Mary's University Women's Soccer team behind the eight-ball, and they couldn't recover despite having five shots on goal, falling 2-0 in the season opener.
 
The Rattlers won't have long to dwell on the setback as they host Westminster (Utah) on Saturday at 5 p.m. The Griffons opened their season on Thursday at Sigma Beta Chi Field against Texas A&M International and ended in a scoreless draw. Lynn improves to 2-0 on the year after defeating St. Edward's in Austin on Thursday.
 
St. Mary's outshot the Fighting Knights 12-to-10 on the evening and senior goalkeeper Rebecca Difronzo (Bari, Italy) made six saves after surrendering the pair of goals. 
 
Despite being double and triple-teamed throughout much of the match, junior Shelby Paniagua (Cibolo, Texas) managed two shots on goal in her three attempts.
 
Notes: 
  • Eliza Cerda, Ana Parra and Michelle Ramirez all made their first starts in the Gold & Blue.
  • Rebecca Difronzo needs five more saves to tie Erin Longford (2016-19) for second all-time in school history. She is also 30 away from knotting the all-time mark with 261 saves.
  • Last season, Westminster and St. Mary's battled to a scoreless draw in Salt Lake City in the first meeting between the two clubs.
  • This was the first-ever meeting between the Rattlers and Fighting Knights.
