Junior goalkeeper Caity Casey made four saves in goal for the Blue
Devils in the loss, but it was not enough as CCSU lost for the
first time since October 3. After beginning the NEC season with a
loss at St. Francis (PA) the Blue Devils had won four straight
conference games prior to Sunday.
The Blue Devils outshot the Blackbirds 11-8 in the game but the
home team had a 5-4 edge in shots on goal, including the only score
of the game.
Long Island's Kayleigh Morgan scored the only goal of the game at
25:18 in the first half. She headed the ball by Casey on a first
half corner kick, taken by LIU's Nicole Allen. Long Island
attempted five corner kicks in the game while the Blue Devils did
not have any.
The Blue Devils return home for their final two regular season home
games of 2008 this week. They host Sacred Heart on Friday at 3
p.m. and will celebrate Senior Day on Sunday at 1 p.m. hosting
Fairleigh Dickinson.
