SARATOGA SPRNGS, N.Y.— The Skidmore College women's soccer team dropped its first game of the season, 1-0 to Mount St. Mary College, Friday afternoon at Wachenheim Field.
 
An unfortunate series of defensive mishaps led to an own goal in the 66^th minute was all the scoring the Knights would need.
 
The Thoroughbreds carried the play for the entire game, but couldn't solve MSM keeper Caroline Brucato, who had 14 saves for the shutout.
 
Skidmore had a 26-5 shot and 5-2 corner advantage. The team's best scoring opportunity came on a penalty kick in the 63^rd minute. The original shot caught the left goalpost and came straight out for a second attempt that missed the target.
 
Ava Keller had three saves for the Thoroughbreds.
 
Skidmore travels to Mount Holyoke College Saturday for a 2 p.m. contest.
