ALBANY, N.Y. – Kaleigh Roberge (Manchester, N.H.) scored with just under three minutes remaining to lift third-seeded Southern New Hampshire University to a 1-0 victory over No. 2 seed The College of Saint Rose in the semifinals of the Northeast-10 Women's Soccer Championship Friday afternoon at Sullivan Field.  The Penmen, who advance to their first-ever NE-10 championship game with the win, improve to 12-5-3 on the season, while the Golden Knights, who have captured each of the previous five NE-10 tournament titles, now stand 16-2-2 overall.

Southern New Hampshire will host the Northeast-10 championship game on Sunday (11/4) at 1:00 pm and will host eighth-seeded Adelphi University, who blanked No. 4 seed Merrimack 1-0 in Friday's other semifinal.  The Penmen defeated the Panthers 2-1 during the regular season.

Roberge's goal, her seventh of the season, came with 2:56 remaining in regulation.  She took a cross from the right from Ashley Jaskula (Palmer, Mass.) and one-timed it inside the right post to lift the Penmen to the final.

Saint Rose carried play for much of the contest, outshooting Southern New Hampshire 20-5 and 7-2 in shots on goal.  Penmen keeper Samantha Whittier (Sutton, Mass.) recorded her second shutout of the postseason by making seven saves, while Golden Knight goalie Jessica Gerski recorded one stop.
