RINDGE, N.H. (September 28,
2011) – The Franklin Pierce University women's
soccer team dropped a 1-0 decision to Southern New Hampshire on
Wednesday night at Sodexo Field in Rindge. The Ravens fell to 4-4
overall and 2-4 in the Northeast-10, while the Penmen improved to
5-4 and 3-3 in league play.
Franklin Pierce outshot SNHU, 6-3,
in the first half, but could not get anything past Penmen
goalkeeper Samantha Whittier as the match was scoreless at
halftime.
SNHU, though, broke through in the
56th minute with the only goal it would need in pulling
out the win as Sunshine Yang slipped a no look pass to Ashley
Jaskula near the top of the box, which Jaskula then dribbed down
the left side and fired off a shot that clanged off the right post
and into the back of the net. It was Jaskula's third goal of
the season, and marked the second-consecutive season she scored the
match-winning goal versus Franklin Pierce. She also turned the
trick in SNHU's 1-0 win over the Ravens back on Sept. 18 of
last season in Manchester.
SNHU held Franklin Pierce to just
three shots in the second half and held a 10-9 advantage in shots
for the entire 90 minutes. Talita Pereira (Sao Paulo,
Brazil) and Eize Vieira (Sao Paulo,
Brazil) each fired off a team-high three shots for the
Ravens. Senior goalkeeper Jocelyn Leon (Lenox,
Mass.) made three saves despite suffering the loss to fall
to 4-4 on the season.
Franklin Pierce returns to action
Saturday when the Ravens travel to face UMass-Lowell at 1 p.m.
