Swarthmore Squeaks by Haverford, 1-0

SWARTHMORE, PA – Haverford College gave up only one goal, but could not muster much offense as host Swarthmore College defeated the Fords, 1-0, late Saturday afternoon. The Garnet improved to 13-3-1 overall and 7-3 in Centennial Conference play with the win, while the Fords end their season at 5-9-3 and 4-5-1.

The Fords played a strong defensive first half, as the game was played to a 0-0 draw after the first 45 minutes of play. However, the Garnet’s Natalie Negrey took a pass from teammate Maggie DeLorme in the 52nd minute and got it past Haverford goalie Lindsay Festa’s head. The ball had very little life and dribbled into the Fords net before Festa, or any other Haverford defender could catch up to it. Swarthmore used an aggressive style of defense for the remainder of the contest, holding on for the 1-0 win.

Haverford sophomore goalie Lindsay Festa made five saves for the Fords in
the loss.
