Mariners Settle For Tie Against Old Westbury At Home On Tuesday Night

KINGS POINT, N.Y. (Oct. 4, 2022) – The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy women's soccer team played visiting Old Westbury Panthers to a 1-1 draw on Tuesday night at Brooks Stadium, as the Mariners earned their first point in the conference standings. With the split, USMMA's record goes to 5-4-1 (0-4-1 Skyline) on the season, while OW moves to 3-4-1 (1-3-1 Skyline).
 
Game Links The Mariners got on the board first in the 24th minute after senior Cassidy Jester (Denton, Texas) buried a high shot off the keeper's hands in off assists by sophomores Jinae Teria (Chalan Pago, Guam) and Natalia Gallardo (El Paso, Texas). Merchant Marine outshot the Panthers, 7-2, in the opening 45 minutes, including a 4-1 advantage in shots on goal.
 
Old Westbury flipped the script in the second half, coming out real strong and firing 13 shots to the Mariners' five. Sophomore keeper Margaret Ripperger (McKinney, Texas) stood tall, though turning aside three good attempts in the half.
 
However, the Panthers were awarded a penalty kick with under five minutes to play in the game after a tackle in the box, and senior Mia Almonte tied the game up at 1-1 after converting to the left side past a diving Ripperger.
 
Ripperger finished the night with four saves, while her counterpart for Old Westbury, senior Natalie Intrieri turned away six Mariner shots.
 
Up next, the Mariners will travel to face Skyline opponent St. Joseph's-Brooklyn this Saturday, Oct. 8, beginning at 4 p.m. at Aviator Field. Live stats and a live video feed of the game will be available with links on the USMMA Women's Soccer Schedule Page.
