Syracuse, N.Y. – A goal scored by freshman midfielder
Lucia Devio (Gansevoort, N.Y./Saratoga Springs) against Chicago State has been named the Le Moyne Play of the Week, presented by 'Phins Hospitality.
With under nine minutes remaining in the 1
st half, Le Moyne won the ball back in the midfield off an errant touch from Chicago State. Controlling possession with a 1-0 lead, the Dolphins passed back to junior goalkeeper
Mikayla McPheron (Rome, N.Y./Rome Free Academy), who calmly passed ahead to redshirt junior defender
Logan Cookinham (Poland, N.Y./Poland).
Cookinham took a touch before looking up the field, spotting an open Devito running down the left wing. Logan played a ball over the top of the Cougar defense, as Devito ran onto the ball beating out the Chicago State defender.
Without taking a touch, Devito took a shot first-time with her left foot from distance, as her shot went up and over the outstretched hands of the goalkeeper, giving Le Moyne a 2-0 lead before halftime.
Lucia and the Dolphins went on to claim their third straight NEC victory after defeating Chicago State 3-1. Le Moyne is back in action Sunday, October 25
th as they are set to take on CCSU at Ted Grant Field.
