Thoroughbreds win third straight, 2-1 over Plattsburgh

Box Score SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.-- Megan Caccavale and Emily Saliterman scored second half goals to lead the Skidmore College women's soccer team to a 2-1 win over Plattsburgh in a non-league contest, Saturday at Wachenheim Field.
 
The Thoroughbreds have won three straight to improve to 3-3, while the Cardinals drop to 4-3.
 
The teams did all of their scoring in a 4:41 span of the second half.
 
Caccavale worked her way down the right side through two Plattsburgh defenders and placed a perfect shot far post from just inside the box to give Skidmore the 1-0 lead at 55:50.  
 
The Cardinals answered at 59:50 when Lindsey Bushey one-timed goal line clear off a corner for her sixth goal of the season.
 
It took only 51 seconds for Saliterman to respond with the game winner.  The team's leading scorer maneuvered through two defenders and poked one in from six yards out for her fifth goal of the season.
 
Skidmore had a 17-11 edge in shots. Goalie Deirdre Walsh improved to 3-0 with seven saves, including stuff on a breakaway by Plattsburgh's Brooke Knight with nine minutes to play.
 
Danielle Schmitt had five saves for the Cardinals.
 
Skidmore opens Liberty League play on Sept. 23 at Union College in a 7 p.m. game.
