Worcester, Mass. (September 4) -- Sophomore Annie Heaney (East Kingston, N.H.) scored just 6:27 into the game to give the Saint Anselm field hockey a 1-0 lead as the Hawks earned a 2-0 shutout win over Assumption on Thursday night.

Heaney scored her unassisted tally off a goalie deflection for the lone score of the first half. The Greyhounds managed 10 penalty corners in the first half, but were unable to find the back of the net. Maggie Dwyer (Elkridge, Md.) closed out the scoring with a goal on a penalty stroke at the 48:20 mark in the second half.

Riley Haddock (Falmouth, Maine) made eight saves for the shutout win, while Danielle Luongo made two saves to take the loss.

Saint Anselm, now 1-1 overall and in Northeast-10 play, is back in action on Saturday afternoon as the Hawks host Southern Connecticut for a 1 p.m. start.
