Donahue's Goal Leads Penmen Past Le Moyne

MANCHESTER, N.H.—Emily Donahue (Bristol , R.I.) tallied her second goal of the season in the 14th minute to lead the Southern New Hampshire University women's soccer team to a 1-0 win against the Le Moyne College at Larkin Field on Saturday afternoon.  The win marks the third-straight for the Penmen, who improve to 7-6-1 overall and 6-5-1 in the Northeast-10 Conference, while the loss drops the visiting Dolphins to 5-6-2 overall and 3-6-2 in NE-10 play. 

Alyssa Thayer (Hooksett, N.H.) set up Donahue in the left side of the box to fire home a shot to the far right post.  The goal would prove to the only offense needed by the Penmen, as the 1-0 lead stood for the rest of the game. 

Kristina Cardoso's (Stoughton, Mass.) header shot off a cross from Kaleigh Roberge (Manchester, N.H.) in the 57th minute was the Penmen's best chance to score in the second half.  The ball struck the bottom of the cross bar and was batted away from the goal by Le Moyne goalkeeper Felicia Tynan.

Le Moyne's best chance to even the game came late in the second half, as a high shot by Christie Morano flew just wide of the right post.  

Maggie Weldon (Manchester, N.H.) made one save in net for the Penmen to record her sixth shutout of the season.  Tynan stopped six saves in the complete-game effort for Le Moyne.  The Penmen outshot the Dolphins 25-7 on the afternoon.

Southern New Hampshire returns to action on Tuesday, hosting cross-town rival Saint Anselm College in Northeast-10 Conference action at 7:00 p.m. on Larkin Field.
