Women's Soccer Falls To No. 19 Franklin Pierce, 4-1

RINDGE, N.H. – The Southern Connecticut State University women's soccer team lost to No. 19 Franklin Pierce, 4-1, in the Owls' Northeast 10 Conference opener in Rindge, N.H. The Owls suffered their first loss of the early season to drop to 2-1-0 while Pierce improves to 2-1-0.
 
Meaghan Kelley (East Brookfield, Mass.) scored the Owls' only goal in the loss, while Kaitlyn D'Amico (Middletown, Conn.) had the assist.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The score was tied at 0-0 through the first 45, while Meagan Kelley had two opportunities to put the Owls on the board. She had a strike from the top of the box that glanced off the cross bar and also came up with the ball in a scrum in front of the net before sending it wide.
  • Franklin Pierce broke through in the 58th minute of play when Veronica Marques played the ball to Keyla Gonzalez Jaen who took a dribble before sliding her bid past Owls goalkeeper Allie Smith.
  • Franklin Pierce jumped out to a 2-0 lead when Jessica Magrman set up Ciersten Palumbo with the marker in the 69th minute.
  • Meaghan Kelley finally broke through with her first goal of the season when she took a feed from Kaitlyn D'Amico and blasted a shot over the Ravens' leaping goalkeeper to cut FPU's lead in half, 2-1, with 14 minutes to play.
  • Pierce's Palumbo and Vasques added goals in the closing minutes of play to seal the three-goal victory for the Ravens.  
 
NOTES
  • Franklin Pierce's second-half goal ended Allie Smith's shut-out streak at 238:12, which was the longest at Southern since 2012.
  • Kelley's goal was her first of the season and her first since Sept. 22, 2018 – a span of 13 games. It was also just the second goal scored against No. 19 Franklin Pierce in three games this season.
  • D'Amico picked up her first assist of the season. With a goal against St. Thomas Aquinas, she has now picked up a point in back-to-back games.
 
UP NEXT
Southern will return home on Wednesday, Sept. 18 to host Adelphi in a NE10 matchup set for a 7 p.m. start at Jess Dow Field.
