Knights Fall in Shootout to Stonehill

North Easton, Mass.- The FDU Women's soccer team (6-10-2)(5-2-2) played Stonehill (4-13-1)(3-5-1) today, October 27th at 3PM. This was the final match of the regular season for the Knights who now look forward to the NEC Conference Championship this Sunday.  

 
How It Happened 

1st Half 

  • The Knights started the game extremely well with a lot of energy and were able to open the scoring in the 2' Graduate Student Lea Egner drove past the defender and slotted the ball in the back of the net to give the Knights an early 1- lead.  
  • The Burgundy and Blue kept their foot on the gas and were awarded a penalty in the 19' which Sophomore Aitana Martínez-Montoya stepped up and calmly tucked away in the bottom right corner of the net for her 11th goal of the season.  
  • The Skyhawks were able to answer with a goal of their own in the 23' when Hannah Anselmo received a pass from Emmy Dumaresq and dribbled past a few defenders and powerfully shot the ball past keeper Malene Nielsen into the net.  
  • Stonehill kept the pressure on and was rewarded with another goal from Lauren Clement who leveled the score at 2-2.  
  • The Burgundy and Blue were able to regain the lead back in the 45' with 35 seconds left in the half when Egner played a pass to Martínez-Montoya who took a first-time shot and scored her 12th goal of the season to make it a 3-2 game going into the half.  

2nd Half  

  • FDU came out in the second half and created six chances within 20 minutes but could not find the back of the net with any of the opportunities  
  • Stonehill was able to level the game at 3-3 in the 58' when Dumaresq stole the ball from the back-line and dribbled past Nielsen to score on an open net.  
  • Keeper Hanna Copley made some outstanding saves and kept the Knights from scoring with five saves from twelve shots.  
  • The Skyhawks completed the comeback in the 68' from the penalty spot when Lauren Clement stepped up and scored to give Stonehill and 4-3 lead which they never relinquished.  
 
Quotable   


"I thought we started the game well and moved the ball great to give us a 2-0 lead, but we just stopped working and allowed them to take control of the game effort-wise." Stated head coach Eric Teepe "We must get back to playing our game and working hard throughout the match so that Sunday we get the win against a solid opponent."  

Next up
