POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – The Purple Eagles women's soccer team started this week two-game road trip with a 3-0 defeat to the Marist Red Foxes on Wednesday afternoon.

61' – Hailey Bicknell long range shot is saved.
74' (goal) – Coming off a throw-in, Chiara Di Palma cross in the box finds Katey Samarro who toe-poke the ball into the net.
