Women Claim Their Fourth Straight Victory, 2-0 Over Pace
Briarcliff, N.Y. - The women won their fourth straight game on Saturday, defeating Pace 2-0. Caitlin McEvily (New Rochelle, N.Y.) and Lauren Boyd (Sandwich, Mass.) each added a goal. The win moves the Skyhawks to 7-4-2 (7-2-2 NE-10) on the season.
Stonehill got on the board early when McEvily scored on the games' first shot on goal. The freshman's third goal of the year gave the Skyhawks a 1-0 lead three minutes in. Classmate Kirstie St. Martin (Lincoln, R.I.) earned her third assist on the score.
The final score of the afternoon came in the 73rd minute, courtesy of senior captain Lauren Boyd. Her tenth goal of the season leads the team, and moves her one score closer to the Conference leader, Franklin Pierce's Gabriela Demoner (14).
Goaltender Alex Eckhardt (Marshfield, Mass.) claimed her second straight shutout; third in the last four games. The Skyhawks' defense has held opponents to only two scores during their latest winning streak.
The Skyhawks remain undefeated in October with an impressive win over another NE-10 opponent. The women will travel Monday to take on Indiana (Pa.) in a non-Conference game.
