Saratoga Springs, N.Y. - A late second half goal was the difference in Farmingdale State's 1-0 women's soccer non-conference win over Skidmore College on Saturday afternoon at Wachenheim Field. With the win, the Rams improved to 2-1 overall, while the Thoroughbreds dropped to 0-3.

Senior forward Corine Magee (Mastic, N.Y.) scored the game-winner at the 76:18 mark, collecting a loose ball in the box for her first goal of the season.  Sophomore defender Andrea Kiefer (Centereach, N.Y.) played the ball into the box from the midfield for the assist.

Skidmore had chances late, with a corner and restart in the final :48 that resulted in three shots on net, but the Rams were able to hold onto the shutout victory.

The Thoroughbreds had a 14-11 shot and 5-4 corner advantage. Gab Lawrence stopped three shots in goal for Skidmore. Freshman goalkeeper Breanna Blair (Littleton, Colo.) had 10 saves for Farmingdale, including three in the final minute.

The Rams will now host California Lutheran University on Sunday, September 9 at 1:00 p.m.
