Bentley Tops Adelphi 2-0 to Improve to 3-0 in NE10 Play

WALTHAM, Mass. – Bentley University women's soccer improved to 3-0 in Northeast-10 Conference play with a 2-0 victory over visiting Adelphi on Tuesday afternoon.

The Falcons have yet to concede a goal in 270 total minutes in their wins over New Haven (1-0), Southern Connecticut (3-0) and Adelphi (2-0) to begin NE10 play.

After a scoreless opening 45 minutes and a scoreless opening 17-plus minutes of the 2nd half, Bentley scored twice in a seven-minute span.

Senior Dana Goulet (Wilmington, Mass./Wilmington) struck first in the 63rd minute to give Bentley a 1-0 lead. That was followed by junior Liliana Silva (North Grafton, Mass./Grafton) finishing off a nice team goal in the 70th minute for a 2-0 lead.

The first goal came after some quick passing in Bentley's attacking end led to junior Brooke Jones (Duxbury, Mass./Duxbury) playing a pass off to Goulet. Goulet took a few dribbles in between Adelphi defenders to the edge of the 18-yard box, where she got off a low shot that beat the Panthers keeper to the far post.

Bentley's second goal came off a throw-in in midfield. The Falcons kept possession and the ball found its way to junior McKenzie Sullivan (Suffield, Conn./Suffield). Sullivan threaded a through ball down the right-hand side to senior Amanda Andriano (Fort Salonga, N.Y./St. Anthony's) into the 18 yard box. Andriano then played a centering pass to Silva in the six-yard box, who finished the move off with a shot into the back of the net to give Bentley a 2-0 lead.

Bentley then saw out the remaining 20-plus minutes to improve to 3-0 in the NE10 with nine points, and with its third straight shutout.

Falcons graduate student goalkeeper Kat Hassapis (North Reading, Mass./North Reading) made five saves to earn the win, and to record her 14th career shutout.

Bentley will look to keep its winning streak going on Saturday when they visit Saint Rose on Saturday at 2:00 pm.
