Women's Soccer Second-Half Rally Comes Up Short at FDU

TEANECK, N.J. (September 25, 2025) – The Stonehill College women's soccer team's second-half rally came up short in a 3-2 setback to NEC opponent FDU on Thursday evening in Teaneck, New Jersey. The loss drops the Skyhawks to 2-1 in conference play, while the Knights remain unbeaten at 3-0.

Highlights
  • Senior Hannah Anselmo netted her NEC-leading seventh goal of the season off junior Kayla Cassidy's second assist of the night.
  • Junior Annie Renz scored her first goal of the season—and second of her collegiate career—on a second-half penalty kick.
  • Sophomore goalkeeper Allie Sougaris registered a career-high 10 saves for the Skyhawks.
  • Sophomore Marina Burzaco scored her team-leading fifth goal of the season, while senior Andrea Ougaard and junior Ana Salas each scored their second goals of the campaign.
  • Sophomore goalkeeper Rosemarie LeBlanc picked up her second win of the season in net for FDU after holding the Skyhawks to two goals on nine shots faced.
How it Happened
FDU controlled possession in the offensive third throughout the first half, outshooting Stonehill, 12-2, over the opening 45 minutes. Despite being outshot and conceding a goal to the Knights in the 31st minute off the boot of Burzaco, Sougaris held strong, keeping the Skyhawks' deficit to just one heading into halftime.

Coming out of the break, Stonehill looked to level the score. Just over two minutes into the second half, Renz set up classmate Cassidy for an excellent scoring opportunity, followed by a pair of Stonehill corner kicks. However, the FDU backline denied the Skyhawks' chances, preserving their 1-0 lead.

Moments later, the Knights doubled their advantage. Ougaard raced down the field after the second of Stonehill's corner kicks and fired a shot past Sougaris to make it 2-0. At the 57:06 mark, FDU extended the lead again as Salas scored her second goal of the season, putting the Knights ahead 3-0 with just over 30 minutes remaining.

Stonehill would respond in the final third of the match. After drawing a foul in the 18-yard box, Renz converted a penalty kick at 74:15, scoring her first goal of the season and putting the Skyhawks on the board. Less than 10 minutes later, at 83:39, NEC-leading scorer Hannah Anselmo extended her season total to seven goals, dribbling past her defender and finishing off an assist from Cassidy to cut the deficit to 3-2.

Despite the late push, FDU's defense held firm, securing the narrow 3-2 victory over Stonehill.

Up Next
Stonehill (2-6-2, 2-1-0 NEC) returns to action on Thursday, traveling to Brooklyn, New York for a matchup against NEC opponent Long Island University. Kick off between the Skyhawks and Sharks from the LIU Soccer Park is set for 12 PM.
