Junior Claudia Keith (Danvers, Mass.) stopped all seven shots she faced, as the 13th-ranked and third-seeded Southern New Hampshire University women's soccer team played to a scoreless draw with sixth-seeded Saint Anselm College in the NE10 Championship quarterfinals, before falling in penalty kicks, 5-3, Sunday evening at Ouellette Stadium.
STANDOUT PERFORMERS
  • Keith – seven saves
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Southern New Hampshire had a handful of chances, including a couple in the overtime sessions. No opportunity was more dangerous than a rocket off the foot of graduate student Alyssa Anderson (Londonderry, N.H.) in the 110th minute that rang off the crossbar and caromed out of danger.
  • Saint Anselm did not miss a penalty kick, as the Penmen made the goalkeeper switch to sophomore Isabel Hughes (Scottsdale, Ariz.) for the shootout. The Hawks also changed 'keepers, but it was SNHU that wound up missing one to let the visitors advance.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Saint Anselm 'keeper Samantha Swidorski also recorded seven saves.
  • Saint Anselm outshot SNHU, 16-13, including 4-3 in the two overtime sessions.
  • The Penmen held a 6-5 edge in corner kicks.
NOTES
  • Southern New Hampshire, ranked No. 13 in the latest United Soccer Coaches Division II Top 25, ties for the third time in its last five matches (1-1-3).
  • Saint Anselm will finish as the 6th seed in the NE10 setting up a rematch in the NE10 First Round.
  • SNHU leads the all-time series with Saint Anselm, 23-13-7. The teams tied, 2-2, in Wednesday's regular-season finale.
  • Keith's shutout is her 11th of the season and 18th of her career. She moves past Pagie Salmon (2015-17) in the program's career record book and into a tie with Hannah Rose (2018-22) for fourth all-time.
  • The Penmen are now 63-25-24 (.670) over their last 112 matches dating back to the start of the 2017 campaign.
  • SNHU is 41-7-12 (.783) at home since the end of the 2016 season, including 32-7-10 (.755) at Ouellette Stadium, where they are unbeaten in their last 13 contests (9-0-3).
