Box Score

Arnold scored her seventh goal of the season in the 69th minute off an assist from Emily Hill for Assumption (4-2-0, 2-1-0 NE-10). Goalkeeper Alexis Nason stopped all five shots on goal she faced to hold Saint Anselm (2-4-0, 0-3-0 NE-10) off the board and preserve the win for the visitors.

Saint Anselm outshot Assumption 10-7 in the opening half and came within inches of opening the scoring in the 38th minute. After a foul just outside the box, Kendra Bonczar rattled a free kick off the underside of the crossbar but the ball somehow stayed out.

After the break, the Greyhounds took 11 shots to two for the Hawks and capitalized with Arnold's goal. Late on, Assumption nearly added a second but Hill's shot came off the post in the 89th minute.

For the game, Assumption held an 18-12 edge in shots, although shots on goal were just 6-5 in favor of the visitors. Cassie Quattropani made five saves for the Hawks in the game.
