ROCHESTER, N.Y. – A first half goal by freshman forward Leah Levey (Columbus, OH/Bexley) could not carry the Case Western Reserve University women's soccer team to victory on Saturday, November 6 as the Spartans dropped their season finale, 2-1, to the University of Rochester (NY).

With the loss, Case closes the fall with a 9-8-1 overall record and a 1-6 mark in University Athletic Association play. Rochester improves to 11-4-3 overall and 3-2-2 in conference action.

Levey put the Spartans on top with her sixth goal of the season in the 10th minute, and Case would hold that advantage through halftime.

Almost immediately after leaving the locker rooms, however, Rochester tied it in the second half on a penalty kick by Ellen Coleman in the 53rd minute. Just five minutes later, UR added another score off of the foot of Kathryn Rowe to give the Yellow Jackets a 2-1 advantage.

Junior goalkeeper Anna Kennedy (Evanston, IL/Evanston Township) played a full 90 minutes and stopped four shots in goal.

The Spartans held the edge in shots, 13-10, while Rochester took four corners to Case's two.  

Case Western Reserve's nine victories tied last year's mark as one of the best totals in school history.
