Women's Soccer Holds Off #1 Saint Rose Until 83rd Minute in 2-0 NCAA Second Round Loss

When and Where: November 19, 2023 – Albany, N.Y. (Sullivan Field)
Score: #1/#1 seed College of Saint Rose 2, #5 seed Southern New Hampshire University 0
Records: SNHU 10-5-5, CSR 20-0-1

The top-seeded and top-ranked College of Saint Rose broke a scoreless deadlock with 7:02 remaining with a penalty kick goal and added an insurance marker just under 90 seconds later, as it escaped the fifth-seeded Southern New Hampshire University women's soccer team with a 2-0 victory in the second round of the NCAA Division II women's soccer tournament Sunday afternoon at Sullivan Field.
STANDOUT PERFORMERS
KEY MOMENTS
  • The match was scoreless all the way into the 80th minute when junior Lauren Conti (Schenectady, N.Y.) kept the season alive for the time being, clearing a would-be score off the goal line and out of harm's way.
  • The deadlock would be short-lived, as an 83rd-minute take-down on the far left side of the box resulted in a penalty kick for Saint Rose that it would bury to take a 1-0 lead.
  • The Golden Knights all but put it away 1:24 later when Krysten McGuffey tight-roped the right endline and dished to the middle of the box for Brielle Zink, who calmly collected the ball and put it in the open net.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Saint Rose 'keeper Pia Bozic was not forced to make a save in the opening half, while Peyton DeRouen stopped both shots she faced in the second stanza.
  • Saint Rose outshot SNHU, 15-8, including 10-2 in shots in goal.
  • The Golden Knights also held a 5-3 edge in corner kicks.
NOTES
  • Southern New Hampshire entered the day unbeaten in nine of its last 10 (7-1-2).
  • In its ninth appearance, including sixth straight, SNHU dips to 2-6-3 (.318) in the NCAA postseason.
  • Saint Rose, which advances to take on second-seeded Adelphi University on either Nov. 30 or Dec. 1 in the third round of the NCAA tournament at West Chester University, improves to 34-14-6 (.685) all-time in 18 NCAA tournament appearances. The Golden Knights have earned 12 regional championship appearances and have advanced to eight national semifinals (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2019, and 2021), in addition to the program's victory in the 2011 National Championship.
  • The Golden Knights lead the all-time series, 16-9-7, and are unbeaten in 10 of the last 12 meetings (6-2-4), including five straight (3-0-2). Saint Rose extends its home unbeaten streak to five (3-0-2) against the Penmen. The last SNHU win came Oct. 26, 2019 at home (3-2), while the last Penmen victory in Albany came Sept. 10, 2016 (3-2).
