Chargers Drop Skyhawks 2-1
New Haven, Conn. - Freshman Kelsey Mahoney (Rehoboth, Mass.) scored her first goal of the year but it wasn't enough as the Skyhawks fell to New Haven 2-1 on Tuesday afternoon.
Mahoney got the scoring started just 17 minutes into the contest when she took a ball from Erin Bazinet (Charlton, Mass.) and fired it from just inside the 18 for her first collegiate score
Stonehill's lead wouldn't last however, as New Haven knotted the game up at one on a Selina Moylan direct kick from just outside the box less than two minutes later.
The half wouldn end in a 1-1 tie. Ten minutes into the second period the Chargers got their second goal of the afternoon when Emily Buckley-Matura put a Moylan cross past freshman keeper Sarah Hickey (Lee, Mass.).
The Skyhawks continued to pressure New Haven firing five second half shots but were unable to get a ball past goalie Kim Taylor, who had six saves on the day.
Hickey had five saves for Stonehill who drops to 4-11-1 overall and 3-8-1 in NE-10 play.
The Skyhawks return to action when they host Le Moyne on Saturday at noon.
