BOX SCORE **EDITOR'S NOTE**: This game was evenutaly ruled a forfeit victory for York College. The recap below details the highlights of the game before this ruling was made. Only 60 minutes were played in the contest and therefore it cannont be considered an offical contest. Medgar Evers did not have enough players to continue, and the game was called. The NCAA ruled it a forfeit, 1-0 victory for York College with no statistics counting based off rule 7.4 in the NCAA rule book:
"When a scheduled game is terminated before it begins, it is recorded as "no contest." Neither team is credited with a win or loss, regardless of the reason why the game was terminated. If a game is forfeited during play, the statistics only count if at least 70 minutes have been completed. If a game in progress is declared a forfeit win to one of the teams by the game officials and the game has not progressed to a reasonable point of conclusion (70 minutes), then the official game score shall be 1-0. The team's won-lost record shall include the forfeit, but the statistics are voided as a result of 70 minutes not being played; all averages shall be computed without the inclusion of the forfeited contest. All statistics count if a game is forfeited after the game has concluded, and the team that won the game on the field still gets the victory, while the team that lost on the field still gets the loss."BROOKLYN, N.Y. – The York College's women soccer team took on Medgar Evers College Saturday afternoon, earning their first CUNYAC win of the season with a 8-0 win over the Cougars.
