Trio of Hawks Score in NE10 Win at SCSU

NEW HAVEN, CONN. – The Saint Anselm College women's soccer team defeated Southern Connecticut State University, 3-2, in a Northeast 10 (NE10) matchup at Jess Dow Field on Saturday.
 
With the win, the Hawks improve to 5-2-2 overall, and 4-0-1 in NE10 play. Saint Anselm also improved to 11-12-4 all-time against SCSU, defeating the Owls for the fifth time in the last seven meetings. The Hawks are now in second place in the NE10 standings, trailing first-place Franklin Pierce by just one point.
 
Highlights
  • Sophomore Meghan Deneen scored her team-leading fifth goal of the season while freshman Connie Patturelli netted her first career goal and first career game-winner. Deneen also recorded her second assist of the season, as she leads the team and ranks sixth in the NE10 with 12 points.
  • Senior Nina Muir scored the opening goal of the match for the Hawks, her second of the year.
  • Sophomore goalkeeper Samantha Swidorski tallied two saves while allowing two goals in the win, improving to 5-1-2 on the season.
  • Freshman Nicole Schneider assisted on her third goal of the season, tied for the most on the Hawks.
  • Sophomore Amarys Jimenez recorded her first collegiate point with the Hawks, assisting on Patturelli's game-winner.
How it Happened
 
Swidorski made her first save of the game 27 seconds into the match and had her second in the seventh minute as she was tested early in the NE10 contest.
 
The Owls got on the board in the 15th minute when Julia Hargraves rocketed a right-footed shot on a free kick from the left side of the pitch into the top right corner of the net.
 
The Hawks tied it in the 35th minute off a corner kick that Deneen sent into the box, with Muir collecting the ball in front of the net and flicking the shot over her head and into the goal.
 
Right before the first half ended, the Owls scored their second goal of the game when Nicky Deslauriers converted on a shot after making a run into the box and scoring while falling down.
 
Deneen's game-tying goal came in the 69th minute on another corner, this time from the opposite side of the field off the foot of Schneider, that went right off the head of Deneen and into the top right corner of the net.
 
Just four minutes later, Patturelli headed in the game-winner off a perfect pass from Jimenez, who used some fancy footwork to get around the Owls' defenders down the left sideline.
