Frostburg, Md. – Second-seeded Frostburg State University used a pair of first-half goals to end third-seeded St. Mary's College of Maryland's run at a second Capital Athletic Conference women's soccer championship title as the Bobcats posted a 2-1 victory in semifinal action Tuesday evening. With the loss, St. Mary's 2010 campaign comes to a close.
In just its first year as a CAC member, Frostburg State (15-3) will challenge for a league crown on Saturday at top-seeded Stevenson University, who was a 2-0 winner over fifth-seeded Salisbury University in today's other semifinal match.
Sophomore forward Amanda Wharton (Mt. Airy, Md./South Carroll) struck first for Frostburg at 23:00 as Wharton finished an open shot in front of the goal after receiving a cross from the right side from sophomore defender Liz Seligman (Rockville, Md./St. John's College).
First-year forward Adria Graham (Grantsville, Md./Northern Garrett) gave the Bobcats a two-goal cushion with an unassisted tally at 29:55.
St. Mary's (6-8-3) was unable to convert on four corner kicks in the first half and headed into intermission down two goals.
First-year midfielder Yvonne Latour (Gaithersburg, Md./Quince Orchard) put the Seahawks on the scoreboard as Latour converted on a free kick just outside the box at 64:38.
Frostburg held a 16-11 shot advantage while the Seahawks edged the hosts, 4-3, in corner kicks. Seven of St. Mary's 11 shots were on target as Latour and sophomore forward Tori Eskay (Damascus, Md./Urbana) each notched three shots on goal.
