Nashua, NH - Rivier women's soccer welcomed GNAC foe Mount Ida College to Nashua for an important conference match today.  Although Rivier outshot Mount Ida, the ball would not bounce the right way for the home team as the Mustangs were able to secure their first conference victory of the season, 2-0.

Rivier seemed to play in the Mustangs end for the entire game, but couldn't find the back of the net, no matter how close they got to the goal.  Rivier had 12 corner kicks, opposed to Mount Ida's 1, but didn't get a single shot off on any corners. 

Mustang junior Lindsay Lincoln (Clarksburg, MA) was credited for both goals.  The first coming just past the 12 minute mark when she received a pass just across mid field with defender Emily Ingram (Litchfield, NH) right by her side.  Ingram was able to intercept to poke the ball away, but poked it closer toward the goal as she stumbled, giving Lincoln a one on one against goalkeeper Britt Puleo (Hudson, NH).  Lincolns second goal came in the second half as she took a deep pass into the goal box and fired a shot point blank at Puleo, who had come out to intercept.  Puleo stopped the shot, which then deflected off a Rivier defender and rolled 30 ft. into the empty net. 

Mount Ida goal keeper Meghan Begins (Jericho, VT) had 4 saves in the win, while Puleo saved 3 shots for the Raiders.
