Box Score
YONKERS, N.Y.—History was made on Wednesday, when Sarah Lawrence College women's soccer picked up the program's first win, as the Gryphons defeated St. Joseph's College Brooklyn, 1-0, in a Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game at Tibbetts Brook Park.
St. Joseph's Brooklyn (1-7, 1-2 HVIAC) attacked quickly, recording three shots in the first six minutes. Between the pipes, Sarah Lawrence (1-6, 1-2 HVIAC) relied on first-year keeper
Addie Rosenberg (New York, N.Y./Fusion Academy), who tallied five saves in the first period and eight total in the game.
After a scoreless first half, junior
Kaylen Dornan (San Diego, Calif./High Tech High International) broke the silence in the 56th minute. Following a Lady Bear foul 35 yards from the goal, Dornan's free kick was too much for keeper Nicole Farinella to deflect. With her first goal of the season, Dornan enters the SLC history book with the program's first game-winning goal.
Both goalies did well to keep the ball out of the net for the remainder of the period. SLC's
Tori Close (Greenwich, Conn./Westtown School (Pa.)),
Shannon Sullivan (Templeton, Mass./Narragansett Regional) and
Lissette Hazoury (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic/Carol Morgan School) all recorded shots but none were able to circumvent Farinella, who finished with three saves.
With the win, SLC also notched the program's first-ever shutout in its first season as a varsity team.
Sarah Lawrence has a week off before returning to the pitch to face St. Joseph's College Long Island on Tuesday on the road.
