SKYHAWKS SOAR PAST WOMEN'S SOCCER
EASTON, Mass. (October 4, 2006) -- Goals by juniors
Lauren Boyd (Sandwich, Mass.) and Ashley Bourne (Brockton, Mass.)
lifted Stonehill to a 2-0 Northeast-10 Conference women’s
soccer victory over American International Wednesday afternoon at
Skyhawk Field.
Boyd gave the host Skyhawks (5-3-3, 4-3-3 Northeast-10) the only
marker they would need in the 39th minute of play after converting
a direct kick off the foot of junior Meghan O’Brien (Stow,
Mass.), and Bourne added an insurance tally for Stonehill just 14
seconds into the second half when she converted a feed from
freshman Kelly Regan (Mansfield, Mass.) to close out the
scoring.
Junior Alex Eckhardt (Marshfield, Mass.) and sophomore Marissa
Bramwell (Norton, Mass.) made three saves to pick up their second
straight combined shutout in goal for the Skyhawks, while sophomore
Danielle Hodecker (West Springfield, Mass.) made
10 stops in net for the visiting Yellow Jackets (1-11-1, 0-10
Northeast-10) as Stonehill outshot American International by
a 25-4.
American International will be idle until next Wednesday afternoon
when the Yellow Jackets host Merrimack in a Northeast-10 match in
Springfield, Mass. that begins at 3:30 p.m.
