Brooklyn, N.Y. – Monroe College's Women's Soccer team finished out their season with an impressive 9-1-3 record after a tight game against ASA on Friday night left them behind, 1-0. Cold temperatures and blustery winds presented additional challenges as the Mustangs faced their Brooklyn-based rivals at home.

ASA got the only goal of the game in the eighth minute when a perfectly timed through ball found the far side of the net.  ASA managed just two shots throughout the game, a testament to the Mustangs' strong play.  The Monroe back line of Gemma Pla, Brooke Smith and Marta Turmo thwarted any attack ASA could muster.  Marta Alemany chipped in with a save.

A free kick near the 25-minute mark gave Monroe a chance to score, but Melissa Gonzalez's shot attempt was parried by the ASA keeper.  The Avengers held on at 1-0.

In a game where weather conditions played a huge role in stifling any offense, Monroe managed to outshoot ASA, 8-3.  The Mustangs controlled possession but were unable to find the back of the net.
The 2016 campaign is now concluded for the women's soccer team.  They finished the year with a 9-1-3 record and are expected to secure another top-20 ranking when the final standings are released in a couple of weeks.
