Falcons take down Albany State 2-0 in non-conference match

MONTEVALLO, Ala. – The University of Montevallo women's soccer team dominated possession in a 2-0 win over visiting Albany State University in a non-conference clash Sept. 22 at Varsity Field.

The Rams kept the Falcons scoreless until the 33rd minute when freshman Kristen Chance opened her scoring account to give Montevallo a 1-0 lead.

After keeping the visitors at bay, Montevallo scored an assurance goal in the 58th minute. A long ball over the top found freshman Allye Darnell, who dispatched her second goal of the campaign with ease.

Albany State had chances on either side of the break, but failed to beat sophomore Judith Perez-Bayon. The goalkeeper from Barcelona, Spain made four saves in her first start of the season.

The Falcons will return to action Sunday, Sept. 24 in a Gulf South Conference match against Spring Hill College at 1 p.m. at Varsity Field.
