Box Score


WEST HARRISON, N.Y.— It was an evenly played contest throughout, but the Maccabees fell on the short end of a 3-1 decision to Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference foe, Sarah Lawrence College in women's soccer Tuesday evening.

The visiting Gryphons took an early 1-0 lead in the eighth minute on a goal by Sofie Jokela.

Early in the second half, Yeshiva evened the score on a team-leading seventh goal of the season by Merav Sadan Barach at 51:15. She took a through ball from Danielle Orenshein and powered past the Sarah Lawrence defense before blasting it past the goalkeeper for the score.

From there, the majority of the second half saw a lot of neutral zone contesting with neither team holding an edge. Sarah Lawrence held a 16-8 advantage on shots, while the Maccabees held a 6-2 edge on corner kick attempts.

Sarah Lawrence though got the break it needed and salvaged a pair of goals in the final eighteen minutes to put the game away. Jokela scored what turned out to be the game winning goal at the 72:03 point, before a strike by Cat Ha at 78:11 added the insurance.

Annie Jaffe played well in goal and made five saves for the Maccabees who celebrated senior night after the game for its two seniors, Sara Shamir and Yael Roberts.

Sarah Lawrence's Addie Rosenberg made two saves for the Gryphons.

Yeshiva returns to action on Thursday for a game against York College at Aviator Field at 8 p.m.
