LE MOYNE BACK IN WIN COLUMN WITH 2-1 VICTORY OVER KEAN

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Riane Fletcher and Megan O’Shea netted first half goals as the Le Moyne College women’s soccer team ended a four-game skid with a 2-1 non-conference victory over Kean University at the Thomas J. Niland Athletic Complex. With eight victories on the season, the Dolphins (8-6, 4-6 NE-10) match their win total from the 2006 campaign. The Cougars drop to 7-4-2 on the season and remain 3-1-1 in the New Jersey Athletic Conference.

The first half of play held all of the game’s offense as Fletcher netted her fifth goal of the season just over two minutes into the match. O’Shea added to her team lead in goals with her seventh tally of 2007 on an assist from Jacki Rossi. With 13:29 remaining in the first half, the Cougars cut Le Moyne’s lead in half on a Jennifer Behrens goal.

Jessica Cochol finished with five saves for the Dolphins, including a diving stop that prevented a game-tying goal at the 8:44 mark. Leandra Russo collected nine saves for the Cougars.

Le Moyne hosts Saint Anselm’s in a Northeast-10 Conference tilt on Saturday at noon.
