Women's Soccer Opens the Season 1-0-1

The Knights opened up the season with a 2-0 win against St. Anselm.  After a scoreless first half, the deadlock finally broke midway thru the 2nd when Lorena Russi sent the ball to Sarah Boucher who sailed a strong right-footed shot into the top right corner of the goal to put QC ahead. Russi followed with a goal of her own, assisted by Boucher to secure the 2-0 win for the Knights.

QC continued strong play on Sunday, as they took on NE-10 opponent, Pace.  Despite dominating the game for long periods and creating numerous opportunities in both halves, the Knights were held to a tie.  Russi and Boucher were again instrumental in controlling the game early-on and creating several good scoring chances, finally finding the net near the end of the 1st.  The Knights came close to securing the victory with just over 3 minutes remaining in the 2nd OT when Russi played in Janine Guerra with just the keeper to beat, but her goal-bound shot was saved and the game ended in a disappointing tie.

The Knights will return to action on Wednesday, September 5 at 4pm when they take on Merrimack at home.
