Manchester, N.H. (October 11) -- On a rainy Melucci Field on Thursday afternoon, the Saint Anselm women's soccer team evened its record at .500 with a 1-0 non-conference win over Caldwell College.

Saint Anselm held a 20-4 advantage in total shots, but Caldwell netminder Lauren Hoenig (Howell, N.J.) kept the game scoreless late into the game with a 10-save afternoon. The game appeared to be headed to overtime before Saint Anselm junior Courtney Perkins (Charlton, Mass.) scored her first goal of the season from 25 yards out to lift the Hawks to victory. The goal was assisted on by freshman Kelly Cox (Lynnfield, Mass.).

Saint Anselm junior goalie Micaela Smith (Andover, Mass.) made two saves to pick up the victory.

The Hawks are now 7-7-2 overall on the season and remain 4-5-2 in the Northeast-10, while Caldwell drops to 4-9-0 overall. Saint Anselm is back in action on Saturday at Noon when the team travels to Le Moyne for a Northeast-10 game in Syracuse, N.Y.
