JAMAICA, NY—The York College women's soccer team did not fare well against Purchase College, losing by a score of 8-1 on a rainy, cold afternoon at York College Monday afternoon.

Just a little over six minutes into the match, Viscardi picked up the first of her goals off an assist from Amanda Maertz. Fewer than two minutes later, Viscardi added another goal to make it 2-0.
In the 21

Just a few minutes earlier, a handball in the goalie box gave Panepinto a penalty kick opportunity but York goalie
Vanessa Rivera turned away the shot.
Purchase continued the onslaught from there, recording two more goals before halftime with one coming from Ariel Dugan and another from Melissa Valencia.
The second half saw Valencia adding another goal in the 64
th minute and Viscardi netting her third goal in the 70th minute.
However, in the 80
th minute, the Cardinals got on the board. A penalty kick was awarded to York and the Cardinals'
Carolina Munoz converted the kick for her team-leading third goal of the season.
In the 88
th minute, Viscardi added yet another goal, her fourth of the game, to round out the scoring.
With the win, Purchase improves to 5-3-1, while York drops to 1-7. The Cardinals will return to action on Saturday when they visit New Jersey City University at 2:00 p.m.
