Boulis Nets Two As Skyhawks Move To 9-1
Easton, Mass. - Aly Boulis (Lincoln, R.I.) put forth her fifth multi-goal game of the season, finding the back of the cage on two occasions, pushing Stonehill to 9-1 with a 2-1 win over visiting Franklin Pierce on Saturday afternoon at W.B. Mason Stadium.
Boulis, who has 12 goals this season after her performance against the Ravens, has now scored four goals in her last two contests.
The game was scoreless at halftime after Skyhawk netminder Dani Ryder (Gloucester, Mass.) turned away Stephanie Howard twice in the final minute.
Boulis and Caitlin Gleason (New Boston, N.H.) teamed up for the game's first score 16 seconds into the second half when Boulis put back a Gleason rebound to give the Skyhawks a 1-0 lead.
Boulis teamed up with Michaela Deasy (North Falmouth, Mass.) and Colleen McLaughlin (Methuen, Mass.) to score the eventual game-winner at 52:39.
The Ravens didn't go away quietly, scoring a goal off a penalty stroke with 1:04 left, to close the gap to 2-1. Franklin Pierce got another chance, this time with a penalty corner with 30 seconds remaining but couldn't capitalize as the Skyhawks defense stood tall.
