RINDGE,
N.H. (September 23, 2000) - The Franklin Pierce University
women's soccer team needed an early
goal by Minna Mustonen (Helsinki, Finland) to
stand up Saturday during a 1-0 win over Assumption
College in the second half of a Northeast-10
Conference double-header at Crystal Field.
While
the FP
men's team was able to wear down Assumption
for a 3-0 win in the opener, the FP
women's
team was only able to break their counterparts
once despite firing 30 shots.
Mustonen
scored the only goal of the game in the seventh
minute when she converted a sharp crossing pass
from Tanja Pihlblad (Lonsboda, Sweden). The
goal was the team-high eighth of the year for
the defending NCAA scoring champion.
While
the Ravens (5-0, 3-0 NE-10) continued to pressure
throughout the game, Assumption goalkeeper Heather
McIntosh (Weymouth, Mass.) was up to the task,
making 16 saves.
The Greyhounds
(2-2-2, 1-2-1 NE-10) managed two shots, one
in each half. FP
goalkeeper Kara Shemeth (Edgartown,
Mass,) wasn't called on to make a save as she
recorded her third shutout of the season.
The Ravens have
not allowed a goal this year.
While
the Greyhounds jump right back into action Sunday
at Bentley, the Ravens have four days off before
hosting Bentley on Thursday.
