The Knights outshot Southern Connecticut State University 13-3 but were beaten 2-0 for the second straight day in the Franklin Pierce Tournament on Saturday.

Laura D'Amore had a golden opportunity to give QC the lead four minutes in but her penalty kick was turned away by Olivia Hefferman of SCSU. Seventeen minutes later, Suzane Pires took a feed up the gut from Jenna Mellico and beat Allison Breakey of QC from 18 yeards out to put Southern Connecticut ahead 1-0. Flavia Bernardes made it 2-0 when she converted on a penalty kick at the 29:31 mark. That is the way the half would end despite QC holding a 8-3 advantage in shots.

QC took five more shots in the final 45 minutes while holding SCSU without an attempt but were unable to get any past Hefferman. The last of those attempts, which came off of the foot of Sarah Boucher, clanged off of the crossbar with just 21 seconds remainiing in the contest.

Melissa Cuartas led the Knights with three shots while Boucher and Brittany Silipo had two apiece in the loss.
