In the concluding game of the 2010 season for the ACPHS women's soccer team, the Panthers dropped a 5-1 decision to SUNY Institute of Technology on Thursday afternoon.
After allowing the game's first goal at the 21 minute mark to fall behind 1-0, the Panthers were able to even the score seven minutes later when
Frances Ripepi (Amsterdam, NY, Amsterdam) scored her fourth goal of the season on an assist from
