ALBANY-The College of Saint Rose completed its run to a sixth
Northeast-10 Conference Championship within the past seven years by upending third-seed Adelphi 2-0 this afternoon at
Sullivan Field at the Plumeri Sports Complex. The Golden Knights scored 10 minutes apart spanning the two halves and in the process tied the school record with its 18 shutout of the season.
The Golden Knights (19-0-2) manufactured a 9-5 shot advantage, including 7-1 in the first half, and developed seven corner kick opportunities while surrendering only three.
Senior midfielder
Sydney Bond scored what stood up as the game-winner with 42:03 elapsed when she converted a penalty kick after junior midfielder and NE-10 Championship MVP
Meeghan Arno was tripped from behind in the area.
Senior midfielder
Laura Taylor then added an insurance marker with 52:28 gone by when she one-timed a feed from junior midfielder
Emily Benjamin into the far left side past Adelphi junior keeper Sam Whitney.
Whitney finished with three saves for the Panthers (13-2-4) whose only two losses this season came at the hands of Saint Rose. At the other end, senior
Jessica Gerski was called upon to make one save for the Golden Knights.
Both squads almost struck early. Just three minutes in, Adelphi senior midfielder Aimee Goldstein curled a shot from 25-yards out on the right flank that turned inward and glanced off the far post. Two minutes after that, Bond got in the air to head an Arno corner from the right flag that rattled the left bar.
The Golden Knights eventually got on the board after Arno made a move with the ball and created space that forced Adelphi to impede her progress as she dribbled toward the goal.
Looking ahead, the women's soccer team will gather tomorrow in the Touhey Forum at the Lally School of Education to watch the NCAA selection show, which is scheduled for 7:30 pm and will be streamed live at
