Manchester, N.H. – The Saint Anselm women's soccer team took on Northeast-10 Conference opponent Stonehill College this afternoon. Junior forward Teresa Vercollone (Pembroke, Mass.) scored the game-winning goal with 32 minutes left in the game. The win improves the Hawks record to 2-4 (2-3, Northeast-10), while the loss drops the Skyhawks record to 5-3 (4-2, Northeast-10).

Stonehill controlled the game early in the first half, shooting the ball nine times in the first 20 minutes. Despite the offensive attack, freshman forward Lindsay Johnson (Hooksett, N.H.) scored her first goal in a Hawk uniform in the 32nd minute. Senior captain Jackie Cooney (Braintree, Mass.) kept the Skyhawks off the score sheet by saving five shots in the first 45 minutes.

The second half started with Stonehill winning a penalty kick just five minutes into the period. Kristie St. Martin (Providence, R.I.) converted on the penalty for the Skyhawks, tying the game at 1-1. In the 58th minute, Vercollone netted the game-winning goal on a great shot from the right side of the 18-yard box. The goal was her second of the season.

In the game, Cooney made eight saves, while Erika Sartor (Andover, Mass.) assisted on Johnson's goal and Emily Rooney (Quincy, Mass.) assisted on Vercollone's goal.
