BLOOMSBURG, PA --
Kutztown was knocked out of the Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference Playoffs with a 4-1 loss to Bloomsburg Tuesday afternoon
in semifinal action.
The loss drops KU's
record to 14-6 on the season. The Huskies, 18-3, advance to
face Indiana (PA) in the PSAC Championship on Saturday.
Blomsburg and Kutztown
battled up and down the field in the opening minutes of play with
neither team getting off a shot on goal.
With 26 minutes left to
play in the period, Kutztown's Laura Belfatti had a shot on
goal on a corner play with Bloomsburg goalie Tracey Hudak getting a
kick save to keep the game scoreless.
The Huskies had their
first scoring chance off a corner play with 10:45 left in the first
half when Maribeth Brozena had a shot go just wide of the goal.
Bloomsburg finally broke through with 1:28 left in the first period
off a corner play. Alison Poff took the initial shot for Bloomsburg
that was redirected by Jackie Loehwing to Ashley Heckard. The
freshman then drilled home the shot into the left corner of the goal
to give the Huskies a 1-0 lead.
The Huskies added to
their lead just over a minute into the second half off another
corner play when Sharla Partlon fired a shot past the Golden Bear
goalie for a 2-0 lead.
Kutztown came back with
three penalty corners in a one-minute span with 30 minutes to play,
but the Golden Bears got off just one shot in the sequence.
Bloomsburg made it 3-0
with 15:52 to play when Maribeth Brozena scored off a Marie Zorzi
assist on the Huskies' fifth corner of the half.
The Huskies iced the
game with a goal by Morgan Wolf off an assist from Colleen Greenlee
with 10:11 left to play in the game.
Kutztown finally broke
