Women Claim Third Straight With 3-0 Victory Over
SNHU
Boxscore
Easton, Mass. - Skyhawk
forwards Lauren Boyd (Sandwich, Mass.),
Erin Bazinet (Charlton, Mass.) and Kirstie
St. Martin (Lincoln, R.I.) each contributed a goal in
Stonehill's 3-0 over the Southern New Hampshire Penmen. The
women's third straight win moves them to 6-4-2 overall, 6-2-2 in
NE-10.
Stonehill's offense dominated for 90 straight minutes. The
Skyhawks racked up 18 shots in the first half, including six shots
on goal. Once again, Boyd got the ball moving; blasting home
a goal from a Hilary Eckhardt (Marshfield, Mass.)
throw-in.
The goal was Boyd's ninth of the season. She currently
leads the Skyhawks in scoring, shots, and points. Coming into
the game, Boyd was tied for seventh in points in the NE-10; five
goals behind Gabriela Demoner (13) of Franklin Pierce for the
Conference's top spot.
The Penmen quickly found themselves trailing 2-0. Stonehill's
aggressive attacks and flawless execution created more scoring
opportunities in front of the net. Hilary Eckhardt had an
impressive day both offensively and defensively; earning a throw-in
assist on Bazinet's fourth goal of the year. The score came
with eight minutes remaining in the half.
The women did not back off in the second half. Players,
such as St. Martin, Michele Norton (Abington,
Mass.) and Sabrina Cataldo (Saugus, Mass.), gave
the Skyhawks momentum as the clock wound down. Midway through
the half, St. Martin banged home her fourth goal of the season on a
break away up the middle of the field. She is currently tied
for second in team scoring with Bazinet.
After starting the season 1-3, the women have bounced back;
going 5-1-2 since September 15th. Next Saturday
the Skyhawks will face another challenge, a NE-10 match up at Pace
University. The game is scheduled for 3:00pm
