- Stonehill rallied from a 1-0 halftime

two second half goal en route to their third Conference win and
extended their unbeaten streak to four games.

tie with eight minutes left. Off a free kick, Norton hung the
ball in the front of the net and Regan's picture-perfect
header gave the Skyhawks the lead for good.
On the defensive side, Stonehill got strong play from
Hilary Eckhardt (Marshfield, Mass), Kelley
Harper (Liverpool, N.Y.) and Anna Kern
(Attleboro, Mass.) limiting the Hawks to three shots on
goal.

turned away three shots for Stonehill, who now have two of their
next three at home beginning with Saturday's matchup with Bentley,
a team they defeated 8-0 last year.
