Both Panther soccer programs lost to rival Keene State on Saturday, October 1st. The women's team lost to the Owls 2-0. Despite the loss, senior Goalkeeper Angelina LaBroad (Hampton, N.H.) managed to have a ten-save game.  Junior Brittany Croteau and Freshmen Alex Haley scored the goals for Keene State.  Keene State put 12 shots on goal compared to Plymouth's 4 shots. The Lady Panthers made some noise in the second half, but just couldn't find the back of the net. This loss brought the team to a 3-6 overall record and 0-3 record in the Little East conference. Their next conference game is in Plymouth tomorrow against Southern Maine.

The men's soccer team was defeated by the Owls on Saturday as well, 4-0.  Keene State's Bryce Lawler, Danny Silverman, Joe Senecal, and Nick Greenwood notched in the goals for the Owls. Plymouths Jake Sjoberg (Linkoping, Sweden) had a nice shot on net that Keene's goalie Michael Kettermen made a great save on. Despite the loss, Head Coach Rob Wright thought his team showed quality stuff. "We played some of our best soccer of the season from box to box, and they struggled to keep up with us in the central area of the field. The difference was that they found a way to score some excellent goals, while for all our quality build up, we couldn't get the ball in the net." The loss put the Panthers at 1-8 on the season and 0-3 in conference play. Coach Wright looks to regroup and recharge for future play. "Hopefully, we can get healthy, work on some technical and tactical things, and head back into conference play at Southern Maine next Saturday."
