Hourihan, Skyhawks Keep Winning
Easton, Mass. - The Skyhawks extended their winning streak to six games, getting two goals and an assist from Claire Hourihan (East Amherst, N.Y.) as they posted a convincing 4-1 win over St. Anselm on Saturday afternoon at W.B. Mason Stadium.
Hourihan got the offense off and running with her eighth goal of the season less than five minutes into the contest.
Stonehill tacked on another with a Michaela Deasy (North Falmouth, Mass.) goal off a penalty corner at the 15:15 mark.
Hourihan's second tally of the game gave the hosts a 3-0 lead but the Hawks answered back with a goal from Sara Sterling at 28:17.
Jackie Ladino (North Dartmouth, Mass.) found the back of the cage for the only scoring in the second half at 39:23.
Stonehill controlled the ball for long stretches of the match, evidenced by their 19 penalty corners and 23 shots.
St. Anselm goalkeeper Riley Haddock kept her squad in the game for most of the first half, turning away eight shots in the first 35 minutes. She finished with 14 stops, while Courtney Osier (South Dennis, Mass.) needed to make only two saves to collect her sixth win of the season.
Now at 6-4 overall and 6-3 in the Northeast-10, the Skyhawks sit in third place, a half game behind St. Michael's and a full game ahead of Bentley.
Stonehill returns to action on Tuesday when they host UMass-Lowell at 7 p.m.
