Women's soccer flies through No.3-ranked Pilots
By Jennifer Clarke | September 7, 1999With a final score of 2-0, the No. 18 Virginia women's soccer team (1-1) defeated No. 3 Portland (1-1) Sunday, with goals by third-year midfielder Katie Tracy and fourth-year forward Jill Maxwell. In the seventh minute, Tracy regained control of a misplayed clear and knocked the ball past the Pilot goalkeeper into the upper left hand corner. In the 53rd minute, Maxwell seized the opportunity of second-year forward Darci Borski's deflected shot and scored to give Virginia a 2-0 lead. The Pilots outshot the Cavaliers 11-4 in the first half and 8-6 in the second but Virginia obtained four corner kicks in the first half and third-year goalie Julie Maxwell had three saves overall to protect the Cavaliers' 2-0 shutout. Virginia travels to play James Madison Thursday at 7 p.m.
