Box Score The Misericordia University women's soccer team opened its 2014 season with a 2-0 victory over Cortland on Friday night at Mangelsdorf Field.

The Cougars controlled the pace for the majority of the game, outshooting the Red Dragons 14-3 and played stellar defensively en route to the shutout win. 
 
Meghan Antrim put the Cougars on the board at the 21:35 mark, finishing a beautiful cross from Kylen Smith. Antrim's first of the season gave the Cougars a 1-0 advantage and proved to be the eventual game winner.
 
Last season's Freedom Conference Offensive Player of the Year, Megan Mahoney, added the Cougars second goal at the 67:48 mark on a magnificent pass from Alex Gallagher.
