Boxscore

Easton, Mass. – A late C.W. Post goal proved to be the difference as the Skyhawks were unable to put the ball in the net and fell to the sixth ranked Pioneers 1-0 at Skyhawk field on Tuesday.

Both teams had chances to score in the first half, the best being a Brittany Tartara (Bardonia, N.Y.) corner that hit the far post before bouncing out of bounds in the 31st minute.

After a scoreless first half, the teams continued to exchange shots until the 71st minute when Pioneer Ivana Babic took a Lindsey Nick pass and fired it under the oustretched arms of freshman keeper Sarah Hicky (Lee, Mass.) from just inside the 18.

The Skyhawks tried to counter in the final 20 minutes but were repeatedly denied by goalkeeper Allie Weiser, who finished with seven saves in the game.

Hickey finished with seven saves for a Stonehill squad that outshot Post 13-12 and had a 5-2 advantage in corners.

The loss drops the Skyhawks to 3-5-1 on the season. They return to action when they travel to Vermont to take on St. Michael’s on Saturday, October 4, at 1:00 pm.
