Box Score Cresson, PA - The Mount Aloysius women's soccer team lost a close conference matchup 1-0 to visiting La Roche on Tuesday afternoon.
Despite outshooting the visitors by an 8-4 margin, the Mounties fell into a 1-0 hole in the 57th minute when the Redhawks capitalized on a goal from Vanessa Ceravalo from the top of the box.
The first half was a scoreless affair in which the Mounties created one of their best chances of the game midway through the session.
