Freshman Dorthea Glorud (Brumunddal, Norway) registered three points on a goal and an assist to lead the 24^th-ranked Southern New Hampshire University women's soccer team past Southern Connecticut State University, 2-0, Saturday night at Penmen Stadium.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Southern New Hampshire drew first blood midway through the 17^th minute when Glorud slid a pass from right to left across the box for Humphreys, who hit a low shot past diving Southern Connecticut goalkeeper Abigail Allen and inside the right post.
• The score stayed that way into the second half until the 57^th minute when Glorud chalked up a score of her own. Graduate student Sydney Crema (Litchfield, N.H.) made a run down the left flank before sending a long pass into the box for Glorud, who ran onto the ball and chipped it over a sliding Allen to stretch the Penmen lead to 2-0.
