Women’s Soccer takes down Wentworth

Box Score BRISTOL, R.I. – The Roger Williams University Women's Soccer team battled through the elements for a 2-1 win over Wentworth Institute of Technology Wednesday evening.

Both teams braved high winds and rainy conditions throughout the entire contest. The wind blew southward for most of the game, benefiting Wentworth in the first half and Roger Williams in the second.

Wentworth managed to earn the first score of the game, taking advantage of a miscue from the Hawks. In the ninth minute, Mary Annon (Concord, N.H.) put up a corner kick from the right side into the box. With the wind pushing towards the goal, the Hawks tried to head the ball out, but a bad hit sent the ball backwards into the net for a Leopard 1-0 lead.

Early into the second half, Roger Williams came through to tie the game. Jessica Valenti (North Reading, Mass.) sent a pass up the middle to Mariah Kaiser (Portsmouth, R.I.). Kaiser came around the Leopard defense to the ball and put up a shot up the middle on net to tie the game at one apiece.

Kristen Tetreault (Tolland, Conn.) pushed the Hawks ahead in the 68th minute. Haley Carignan (Scarborough, Maine) slipped a pass backwards to Tetreault on the left side of the net. Tetreault stepped up and knocked a shot to the middle of the net for her sixth score of the year.

Tetreault's goal would end up as the game-winner, as the score held up while both teams played through the Nor'Easter battering down New England.

Sydney Martin (Scarborough, Maine) had seven saves for Roger Williams in the win, while Nicole Leahey (Warwick, R.I.) made seven stops as for Wentworth in the loss.

On Saturday, Roger Williams (13-2-3, 5-0-2 CCC) will host the University of New England, while Wentworth (7-7-3, 2-4-2 CCC) welcomes Endicott.
