BRISTOL, R.I.—The Roger Williams Women's Soccer team defeated Framingham State University 4-1 under the lights on a Thursday night.

Early in the second half, Hawks' Sarina Olson (Bristol, R.I.) crossed the ball to teammate Gabbi Rozumek (Woodstock, Vt.) who then juked Rams' goalkeeper Madison Brown (Attleboro, Mass.) to score the first goal of the game and make it 1-0.

In the 54^th minute, Rozumek struck again and scored her second goal of the game and the season for the Hawks from a pass from Kelly Yadoff (Wyckoff, N.J.) for a 2-0 lead.

The Rams decided not to give up just yet when Kayla Almstrom (Auburn, Mass.) headed the ball off of a corner kick from Hannah Kane (North Attleboro, Mass.) into the net past RWU goalkeeper Brooke Hathaway (Riverton, Utah) to keep it interesting at 2-1.

However, the Hawks secured the game by Alli Santacroce (Burlington, Conn.) and Sinead Hanley (Quincy, Mass.) both scoring with under 30 minutes left in regulation to win the game 4-1.

RWU outshot the Rams 28-12 and had many opportunities to score throughout the game.

RWUs' Hathaway (2-2-0) had six saves while FSU's Brown (0-5-0) had 11.

"It was a good time to play Framingham State," said Head Coach Tim Moody. "We almost pulled off a big win against WPI on Tuesday, but unfortunately we didn't so having another game in the same week so close was what we needed.
 

"It was nice to start so strong and get on top so early in the game. Although we didn't score in the first half, we felt it was only a matter of time if we kept playing the right way. We were dangerous and you could see what we have been working on this past week. We have a lot of young players on the team this season, more than usual and they are beginning to understand the expectations as well as the level you need to play at every time you step on the pitch.
 
"You have to be switched on, focus on your job and responsibility to help the team be successful. You cannot carry one or two players in a game or just show up and expect to get a result. As we are still trying to find ourselves this allows us to try different options. We have players with a variety of skills and so depending on the problems or solutions we are looking for to win games we can mix and match players.
 
"We practice to play different teams, shapes and formations. We look at our strengths as well what the opponent has to offer. We put together a game plan for each team we are up against and try to get a positive result every time we step on the pitch. Sometimes it doesn't always turn out the way you planned, but today it did.
 
"We took advantage of the opportunities and finished the match very strong, once again we had different players play well, which will be good for us in the long run. Some players are finding their form at the right time and others will get their sooner rather than later.
 
"It is nice to see the confidence in young players and for them to quickly feel at home and settled in the program. We have started more freshmen this season than any other class, which means players are getting the experience they need to be stronger in a year or two, but we are only thinking about winning now, so if you are good enough you are old enough.
 
"We practice to develop and get better, but play to win on game day."

Up next for the Hawks (3-7-0) is Bridgewater State on October 2^nd at 7:00 p.m. and for Framingham State (0-8-0) is Salem State on Saturday at 3:00 p.m.
