Nashua, NH - Pine Manor goalkeeper Kayla Nielsen (Saco, ME) had not allowed a goal this season in three previous starts, but the Raiders of Rivier College were determined to end that streak.  At 12:25 in the first half, a Meg Hickey (Derry, NH) corner kick resulted in Kathleen Moran (Pembroke, NH) scoring the first of the Raiders three goals on the night.

The score remained 1-0 until four minutes into the second half when Emily Ingram (Litchfield, NH) took a centering pass from Sarah Fletcher (Chelmsford, MA) and headed through the posts to make it a 2 goal lead.  The final goal came off a goalkeeper deflection where Nina Seher (Nashua, NH) was in the right place at the right time and booted it into an unguarded net.

Most of the game was played in Pine Manor's end of the field.  Rivier out shot PMC 32-10, and made the goalkeeper work with 20 shots on goal, compared to 7 by Pine Manor.

Rivier goalkeeper Brittany Puleo (Hudson, NH) made a number of outstanding saves, including a point blank shot by Pine Manor's Alicia Grenier (Swansea, MA) on a breakaway.

The 3-0 victory puts Rivier at an overall record of 2-3-0 and 1-0-0 in GNAC play.  The loss is the first this season for Pine Manor, dropping their record to 2-1-1 and 0-1-0 in GNAC play.
