Lightning Strike Down Panthers…Defeat Old Westbury 2-0

Box Score Old Westbury, NY – The Lehman College (6-6-1) defeated Old Westbury (2-11) 2-0 behind goals from Daniela Castro and Lillian Barreto.

Castro got the Lightning on the board with just 1:13 to play in the first half when she pounced on a rebound shot of Pamela Sanchez.  The contest was still in doubt till the waning seconds as Barreto gathered a loose ball in the box and drilled it into the back of the net for the final score. 

Lehman dominated play as they outshot the Panthers 30-7 and held the edge on corners 5-2. 

Lehman goal keeper Rebecca Gritz, the reigning CUNYAC Defender of the Week was called on to make five saves.  The shutout was her sixth of the season.
