Late Goal Lifts Knights Past Cincinnati

Box Score

Orlando, Fla. – The Knights moved to 2-0 on the season with a thrilling win over the Cincinnati Bearcats on Sunday afternoon. 

A goal in the 85th minute by Ellie Moreno on an assist from Katie Bradley gave the Knights a 1-0 lead.

"Ellie served a great ball in and Mathilde Kack did a great job of boxing out the goalkeeper, and we took advantage of that opportunity." said women's soccer head coach Tiffany Roberts Sahaydak. 

The Moreno goal proved to be all the Knights needed as they would hold on to win 1-0, her first game-winning goal of the season.
