Women's Soccer Gets Coach Brown First Ivy Win vs. Cornell, 2-0

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania women's soccer team picked up a few firsts in Saturday's Ivy League home opener. The Quakers used an early goal from senior Emily Pringle and a late one from sophomore Paige Kenton to secure a 2-0 win against Cornell at Rhodes Field on Saturday afternoon. Quakers head coach Casey Brown picked up her first Ivy League victory, while Pringle's and Kenton's goals were their first as collegians.

Quaker Notemeal
*Penn remains perfect at home under Coach Brown, taking 18 points from 18 with a 6-0-0 record.

*Penn outshot Cornell, 13-9, including a 3-1 advantage in shots on goal. Each team took an equal amount of corners as the Big Red had three in the first half and the Quakers took three in final 45.

*Sophomore Lauren Teuschl had a match-high four shots. Katerina Peroulas (3) and Pringle (2) added multiple shots. Janae Stewart, Ginger Fontenot, Reese Sutter, and Kenton all recorded one shot in the win.

*Sophomore Laurence Gladu recorded her fourth clean sheet of 2021 as she had to make just one early save in the victory.

How It Happened
Pringle's goal was a perfect cap to a tremendous solo effort, as she made her way through a pressuring Big Red defense down the left flank. As her angle was closing near the end line she fired off a shot, putting it over onrushing Cornell goalkeeper Miranda Iannone's head to give the Quakers a 1-0 advantage in the 12th minute.

Cornell quickly countered with a tricky shot from the top of the box that Gladu handled. In the 31st minute, Pringle fired her second shot of the match but it was off target, and the Quakers took the one-goal lead into the locker room at the half.

Stewart wasted no time in getting the offense going for the Quakers in the second half as she fired a shot to the bottom left of the net, but ultimately Iannone was there to make the save. Around the hour mark, Fontenot had a prime chance to add a goal for the Quakers but her shot from the top of the box was just high.

Less than seven minutes later, though, Teuschl sent a ball to a wide-open Fontenot who fired a shot off the post. Kenton was right there to collect the rebound and she cleaned it up to give the Quakers a 2-0 advantage.

Up Next
Penn heads to Columbia next Saturday for a 3 p.m. kickoff.
