BULLDOGS BLANKED BY BLACKBIRDS FRIDAY NIGHT AT LIU,
1-0
BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Despite outshooting the Blackbirds, a late
first half goal proved to be enough for Long Island University as
they defeated the Bryant women's soccer team 1-0 on Friday night in
Brooklyn, N.Y.
The Blackbirds (9-7-1, 5-4-1 NEC) recorded the lone goal in the
39th minute off a Jessica Roelant header. Roelant received a cross

keeper Katie Mitchell (Deer Park, N.Y.) Mitchell
recorded three saves in the contest.
With the loss, the Bulldogs fall to 4-12-1 overall and 2-6-1 in
Northeast Conference play. Bryant outshot LIU 8-6 in the contest

The Bulldogs return to action on Sunday, Nov. 1 when they host
Wagner University for senior day at Bulldog Stadium. The game is
slated for a 1 p.m. start.
