SAINT MICHAEL'S BLANKS WOMEN'S SOCCER
SPRINGFIELD, Mass (September 26, 2006).- Visiting Saint
Michael's College used a goal in each half to post a 2-0 win over
American International College in Northeast-10 women's soccer
Tuesday afternoon at AIC Park. The win snaps a five-game
winless streak for the Purple Knights as they improve to 4-6-1
overall and 2-5-1 in NE-10 play, while the Yellow Jackets are now

Saint Michael's got on the board just 6:50 into the contest when a crossing pass by Kelley Ruch (Woodstock, Vt.) was headed home by Alicia Baxter (Waltham, Mass.). The Purple Knights would strike again in the 76th minute when Laura Anacone (Mansfield, Mass.) scored on a feed from Katie Burdett (Milford, N.H.).
