Women's Soccer Blanks St. Thomas Aquinas, 2-0

Box Score MANCHESTER, N.H. – The Southern Connecticut State University women's soccer team cruised to a 2-0 win against St. Thomas Aquinas in a non-conference matchup at the SNHU Tournament in Manchester, N.H. With the win, Southern improves to 2-0-0 through its opening weekend while St. Thomas Aquinas drops to 0-2-0.

Kelly Lamb (Ledyard, Conn.) factored into both Owls' goals, assisting Kaitlyn D'Amico (Middletown, Conn.) before scoring late in regulation. Allie Smith (Danbury, Conn.) posted her second-straight shutout, denying the Spartans on their lone shot on goal of the game.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Owls got on the board on a play started by Johanna Wahlen (Karlsruhe, Germany), who controlled the ball with a defender on her hip, before feeding Lamb on an overlapping run down the sideline. Lamb then sent a cross-pass to the box for D'Amico who shrugged off a defender and potted her first of the season.
  • In the closing minutes of play, Wahlen and Lamb played the give-and-go to the left of the Spartans' goal before Lamb buried her first goal of the season to the opposite post to give the Owls a 2-0 lead.
NOTE
  • Smith now owns a shutout streak of 180 minutes after blanking the Spartans as well as nationally-ranked Bridgeport on Friday.
  • The longest shutout streak to start a season was set by Jacquelyn Frede in 2011 who posted seven-straight clean sheets before allowing a goal in the 68th minute in her eighth game of the year to give her a run of 698:20 minutes.
  • The last time Southern posted back-to-back wins to start the season was 2012, while 2011 saw the Owls start the year with back-to-back shutouts.
  • The current squad has some work to do in that area as the 2011 team didn't allow a goal until its eighth game.
  • D'Amico's goal was her first of the season and fourth of her career.
  • Lamb goal was the first of her career, while her assist on D'Amico's goal was her third of her career.
  • Wahlen also picks up the first point of the season.

UP NEXT
The Owls are back in action on Saturday, Sept. 14 when they travel to Rindge, N.H. to take on Franklin Pierce in a Northeast 10 Conference matchup set for 7 p.m.
