KING'S WOMEN'S SOCCER EDGES MANHATTANVILLE 2-1 ON AMY BARGE GAME-WINNER

PURCHASE, NY -- Senior midfielder Amy Barge scored the game-winning goal with 16:54 remaining as the King's College women's soccer team picked up an important 2-1 Freedom Conference victory over Manhattanville College Saturday in Purchase, NY.

With the win King's improved to 4-8 and 1-3 in Freedom Conference play while Manhattanville slipped to 3-9-1 and 0-4.

After falling behind 1-0 after 15 minutes, King's tied the score at the 18:59 mark when Allie Balotin struck net following a corner kick as the teams enter the half-time break tied at 1-1.

The score remained the same until Manhattanville was whistled for a foul and King was awarded an indirect kick from the top of the box. Barge drilled a shot low and just inside the left post for what proved to be the game-winning goal at the 73:06 mark.

King's outshot Manhattanville 13-0 and held a 4-0 advantage in corner kicks.  King's goalie Jen Schenfeld made four saves in net.

The Lady Monarchs return to the pitch Tuesday with a 5:00 p.m. home matchup with Delaware Valley University.
