Smithfield, RI - The Bryant University women's soccer team welcomed American International to Sutton Field on a rain soaked Thursday afternoon. The Bulldogs dominated the match and shutout AIC 5-0. Bryant improves to 5-2-2 overall and 2-1-1 in Northeast-10 Conference play.

In a match that was controlled by the Bulldogs, Bryant had goals from four different players. Senior Sara Vienneau (Salem, NH) scored the first goal at 16:05 and would prove to be the game winner. Sophomore Stephanie Zalewski (Parsippany, NJ) added a goal at 35:49 from a beautiful pass from freshman Melanie Smith (Rehoboth, MA). Smith also contributed a goal in the contest on a break away.

Freshman Daisy Martinez (Eliot, ME) recorded her first collegiate goal towards the end of the first half as she arched a free kick from the left side into the right corner of the goal.

Bryant would get their fifth goal on a gift from AIC who scored an own goal off of one of their defenders. The Bulldogs out shot the Yellow Jackets 27-5.

Three Bulldog goalies combined for the 5-0 shutout. Freshman Jessica Neales (Swansea, MA) played 32 minutes saving one shot. Freshman Ashley Krapels (West Paterson, NJ) played 42:36 and freshman Jessica Clark (Barnstable, MA) finished the last 15:24 making two saves.
