Women's Soccer Suffers First Setback of the Season to So. Connecticut

NEW HAVEN, Conn.—The Southern New Hampshire University women's soccer team suffered their first setback of the season on Friday evening, dropping a 1-0 decision on the road to Southern Connecticut State University in Northeast-10 Conference action.  With the loss, the Penmen drop to 2-1 overall and 1-1 in Northeast-10 Conference play, while the win boosts the Owls to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in league play. 

After a scoreless first half, Southern Connecticut's Stephanie Santos would tally an unassisted goal in the 52nd minute of the game following a foul on SNHU.  The goal would be the only scoring of the contest. 

Penmen goalkeeper Maggie Weldon (Manchester, N.H.) made four saves in the loss for SNHU.  Southern Connecticut goalkeeper Jacquelyn Fede made one save in the win for the Owls to post her fourth consecutive shutout of the season.  Southern Connecticut outshot SNHU 12-3 on the evening. 

The Penmen return to action on Sunday, September 11 when they host the No. 1 Saint Rose at 2:00 p.m. in Northeast-10 Conference action.
