The Mount St. Mary's women's soccer team began its 2026 campaign with a 3-1 defeat against UMBC, a match that saw the Retrievers strike first and build an early lead.
Opening Match Highlights
Fineen Cregan, who transferred from Akron to play her sophomore season for the Mountaineers, converted a penalty kick in the first half, providing the team's only goal of the night.
Goalkeeper Abigail Makela kept the score within reach, making six saves despite being outshot early by UMBC's attacking trio.
Looking Ahead
The Mountaineers will next host Towson at Waldron Family Stadium on August 16 at 6 p.m., hoping to capitalize on home‑field momentum and correct the early‑season missteps.
Cregan's arrival from the University of Akron adds experience and depth to the roster, and her early goal suggests she could be a key offensive weapon as the schedule progresses.
