2-1
 

Smithfield, RI - The Bryant University women's soccer team welcomed Southern New Hampshire to Bulldog stadium on a sunny Wednesday afternoon. The Bulldogs came back from a 1-0 deficit to defeat the Penmen 2-1. Bryant improves to 6-3-2 overall and 3-2-1 in Northeast-10 Conference play.

Southern New Hampshire got out to an early lead just four minutes into the match when sophomore Laurie Boland (Worcester, MA) fired a shot from just outside of the box over the keepers head.

Bryant had a disappointing first-half missing on multiple scoring chances. Senior Nikki Grandmaison (East Hampstead, NH) had a chance to tie the game at 1-1 near the end of the first-half but the ball traveled just high and hit off the crossbar. Sophomore Stephanie Zalewski (Parsippany, NJ) gathered the rebound and shot the ball barely over the crossbar as time expired.

The second half was a different story as the Bulldogs would score twice to take the 2-1 victory. Senior Sara Vienneau (Salem, NH) tied the match at 1-1 on a bounding ball that bounced over the keepers head. Junior Casey Grange (Methuen, MA) would score the game winner in the bottom right corner passed the keeper on a pass from sophomore Diane Pascale (Plymouth, MA).

Freshman Jessica Neales (Swansea, MA) went the distance for the Bulldogs saving four shots. Sophomore keeper Nicole Visconti (North Reading, MA) saved 10 shots for the Penmen.

The Bulldogs will host Saint Michael's during Homecoming weekend Saturday, September 24 with a scheduled game time start of 10:00am.
