Manchester, N.H. (September 7) -- In the season opener on Tuesday night, the Saint Anselm women's soccer team dropped a 1-0 final to No. 18 ranked University of Bridgeport in non-conference action at Knights Field. This marks the fourth straight year that the two teams have met, with the Purple Knights holding the 2-1-1 edge.

After a scoreless first half, the Purple Knights struck early in the second half as Rakel Hinriksdottir (Akureyri, Iceland) scored on a header following a cross from teammate Danielle Weir (Bo'Ness, Scotland) at the 49:32 mark. Bridgeport outshot the Hawks by a 21-3 margin, including 11-2 in the second half.

Senior netminder Jackie Cooney (Braintree, Mass.) made nine saves for the Hawks in the defeat, while Julia Hansson (Tocksfors, Sweden) did make a save for the Purple Knights in the shutout win.

With the loss, the Hawks fall to 0-1 overall, while Bridgeport improves to 2-1 overall. Saint Anselm returns to action on Friday afternoon as the team travels to American International for a Northeast-10 match beginning at 4 p.m.
