BRYANT ROLLED BY NO. 19 ALBANY, 3-0, ON ROAD FRIDAY

SMITHFIELD, R.I. – Corrine McConville scored twice and fired 10 shots for the University at Albany, leading the 19th-ranked Great Danes to a 3-0 win over the Bryant University field hockey team Friday afternoon in Albany, N.Y.

Bryant (0-8) junior goalie Jennifer Gullotti (Waltham, Mass.) did all she could to keep Albany (6-2) out of the net, making eight stops while facing 27 shots (11 on goal) in the outing. The Bulldogs were outshot, 27-2, on the day.

Both of McConville's tallies came in the first frame, as the Bulldogs took a 2-0 deficit into the halftime break. Out of the intermission, Christina Patrick chipped in the third and final score of the day, gathering a loose ball in front of the cage and putting it home for the 3-0 final.

Senior Elise Boissoneau (Ashburnham, Mass.) and rookie Olivia Jankins (West Brookfield, Mass.) recorded the only shots of the contest for the Bulldogs, who were awarded just a single penalty corner to Albany's 13.

The Bulldogs must now turnaround and play another tough opponent without a day of rest, returning to action Saturday, Sept. 25 when they face off against Colgate on the road (3 p.m.).
