Providence, R.I. - The No. 9 women's soccer extended their win-streak to five on Wednesday Sept. 14 with a 1-0 victory over Brown University. Sophomore Nicole Reyes scored the game-winner at 64:39. This is her first goal of the season and fifth career goal. The Eagles improve to 5-0-0 while the Brown Bear's now stand at 3-3-0 on the season.
The game-winner came in the 65th minute of the match. Sophomore Kia McNeill crossed the ball to Reyes, who was waiting at the far post. Reyes collected the ball and slotted it past senior goalkeeper Hilary Wilson to put the Eagles on top for good. This is the Eagles ninth goal of the season.
Brown had a scoring opportunity in the first half but freshman Kerri McNicholas cleared the ball off the goal line.
The Eagles defense of Lindsey McArdle, Laura Georges, Mary Schneck, and Kerri McNicholas held the opposition to six total shots and only two on frame. Throughout the season thus far, the Eagles have dominated the statistics out-shooting the opponents 100-26, while only allowing 12 shots on goal.
Arianna Criscione made two saves for her fifth straight shutout on the season. The Eagles have not allowed a single goal in all 450:00 minutes of play this season.
This is the first season since 1991 that the Eagles have started off the season without allowing a goal in the first five games. Criscione has collected 12 saves and played in all 450:00 minutes for the Eagles.
BC outshot Brown 22-6 and held the 7-0 edge in corner kicks.
The Eagles next play on Sunday, Sept. 18 when they return home to host Central Connecticut State University at 1:00 p.m. at the Newton Campus Soccer Field.
