West Windsor , NJ -

Mercer women's soccer season came to a heartbreaking end following a 1-1 loss on penalty kicks to Sussex in the Region 19 Championship game.  The game remained tied 1-1 through double overtime and the Vikings lost on penalty kicks 4-1.  Freshman Cassidy Denno (Dayton, NJ/South Brunswick) tied the game 1-1 in the first half off an assist from freshman Samantha Barlow (Hamilton, NJ/Hamilton West).  Denno was named the Region 19 Championship MVP for her efforts.  The Vikings outshot the Skylanders 33 to 11 but could only find the net once.  Freshman goalkeeper Lesly Gonzalez (Trenton, NJ/Trenton Central) had seven saves in the loss.  The Vikings finish the 2015 season with a 10-7 record.
