Rindge, N.H. (October 8, 2008) - Junior forward Karrie Muma (North Falmouth, Mass.) scored the only goal of the game 20:04 into the first half on Wednesday night to lead Saint Anselm to a 1-0 victory over Franklin Pierce University in Northeast-10 Conference play at Sodexo Field.

Saint Anselm scored the only goal of the first half with just under 15 minutes remaining in the frame. Freshman midfielder Jordan DiGeronimo (Fitchburg, Mass.) sent the ball towards the cage from the left side. It snuck behind the Franklin Pierce defense to Muma, who was near the right post and tapped it in to give the Hawks the only goal they would need.

Franklin Pierce held a 4-0 shots advantage in a scoreless second half and posted a 9-4 edge over the full 70 minutes. The Ravens were awarded 14 penalty corners to three for Saint Anselm, including an 8-2 edge in the second half, but were unable to find the tying goal.

Junior goalkeeper Riley Haddock (Falmouth, Maine) made five saves in front of the Saint Anselm cage to post the shutout. Freshman Kristin Tormollan (Waterville, Maine) made one save for Franklin Pierce in defeat.

Saint Anselm (5-7, 5-7 NE-10) returns to action on Oct. 11 at home against American International.
