Saint Joe's Takes 3-0 Win Over GW Women's Soccer
Oct. 14, 2005
PHILADELPHIA, PA - Senior Alisha Paine's two goals paced Saint Joseph's University (6-7-2, 2-2-1 A-10) to a 3-0 victory over George Washington University's women's soccer team (4-8-0, 1-3-0 A-10) Friday night at Finnesey Field.
Paine put the Hawks on the board at the 14:44 mark when she booted a shot off the near left post that caromed into the back right netting.
Freshman Jeanie Neal set up the play as she sent a crossing pass from the right side of the field, finding Paine open on the left side of the box.
The game remained tight through the remainder of the first half, with the SJU holding a 9-3 edge on shots.
Paine was at it again in the second half as she put the Hawks up 2-0 a third of the way in. Streaking toward the right post, Paine received a pass from junior Megan Schutt and beat a diving Anna Handzlik (Palos Verdes, CA/Palos Verdes Peninsula/UC Boulder) at the 61:41 mark.
SJU added to its lead six minutes later following a take down inside the George Washington box. Senior Jess Daugherty booted the penalty kick to the far right corner to seal the game for the Hawks at the 67:29 mark, 3-0.
For the game, SJU out shot the Colonials 12-9 and held a 4-1 advantage in corners.
Hawks' goalkeeper Nicole DiEnna made five saves to earn her third shutout of the season.
Lise Backman (Beaconsfield, Quebec/John Abbott) led the way for GW with four shots.
GW travels to Ambler, PA next to face Temple University Sunday at 1:00 PM.
