SCORE
MANCHESTER, N.H. - A goal by Alyssa
Integlia (Johnston, R.I.) with 7:34 remaining broke a 2-2
tie and lifted the Southern New Hampshire University women's soccer
team to a 3-2 win over Dowling College at Larkin Field Sunday
afternoon. Both teams saw their record go to 1-1 on the
season.
On the game-winner, Integlia played
a long pass from Kristina Cardoso (Stoughton,
Mass.) after Cardoso created a turnover in the midfield.
Integlia's second touch got away from her as she raced towards the
goal, but a Dowling defender misplayed the ball, sending the ball
towards an open goal. Integlia was able to knock the ball in
just before it crossed the goal line for her second goal of the
season.
SNHU would twice tie the game in
the second half after trailing 1-0 at halftime. At the 56:35
mark, Ariel Teixeira (Warren, R.I.) collected a
ball after Integlia and a Dowling defender were racing for
it. She delivered a 15-yarder that found the upper left
corner of the goal. The Golden Lions would reclaim the lead
at the 61:40 mark when Vanessa Moreira converted a free kick at the
top of the box. SNHU would tie the game once again 48 seconds
later when Teixeira was hauled down in the box and awarded a
penalty kick. She would convert the kick for her second goal
of the game.
Kate Collins scored the only goal
of the first half for Dowling off a free kick. Moreira
delivered a right-to-left free kick into the box that Collins
knocked home after it took a bounce.
Southern New Hampshire used a trio
of goalkeepers in the win. Stef Young
(Natick, Mass.) worked the final 26:35 and made three saves without
allowing a goal to pick up the win. Casey
Les (Palmer, Mass.) made her first collegiate start and
turned aside three shots in the first half. Maggie
Weldon (Manchester, N.H.) played the first 18:25 of the
second half and did not make a save while allowing one goal.
Sara Sullivan turned aside three shots for the Golden Lions.
Both teams attempted 13 shots on the afternoon.
