HUNTINGDON, Pa. â?? For 60 minutes the Juniata College women\'s
soccer team held third-ranked Messiah College off the
scoreboard, but three goals in a 10-minute span mid-way through
the second half ended up being the difference as the Eagles fell
by a 3-0 score in Commonwealth action Wednesday afternoon.
Juniata is now 10-7-1 on the year and 2-4 in the conference,
while the Falcons raised their record to 13-1 overall and 6-0 in
conference play. Despite the visiting team firing off 13 shots
in the first half, Juniata was able to get into halftime with
the match knotted at zero. A combination of five saves from
Juniata keeper Lisa Russo (Lakeland/Haskell, N.J.) and some
strong all-around play from Juniata\'s back line kept Messiah
from breaking through. Juniata on the other hand was able to get
off three shots in the half,
