FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Baldwin-Wallace turned aside Fredonia State's comeback bid on the first day of the Clarion Hotel Soccer Classic at University Stadium.
Bucky Gammiere (Mentor, Ohio) scored in the 82nd minute to cancel out a goal by Fredonia State freshman Taylor Wingerden (Macedon/Palmyra-Macedon) in the 78th minute. The Blue Devils were pressuring for the tying goal when Gammiere tallied.
Lindsey Cooper (Westerville, Ohio) opened the scoring to give the Yellow Jackets a 1-0 lead just before halftime at 43:48. Lindsey Mikula (Rocky River, Ohio) upped the margin to 2-0 early in the second half, at 48:25.
The Blue Devils fell to 1-3 despite a 28-16 advantage in shots. B-W goalkeeper Tina Mathur (Mason, Ohio) was credited with six saves, as was Fredonia State freshman Kayleigh Forger (Rochester/Churchville-Chili).
Baldwin-Wallace will face University of Rochester at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in a battle of teams with the same nickname. The winner takes the Clarion crown. The Blue Devils, meanwhile, close out the two-day tournament against Penn State Behrend. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. Both games will be played on the University Stadium grass field.
