Box Score
ALBANY–The College of Saint Rose advanced to its sixth
Northeast-10 Conference Championship Final within the past seven years behind tonight's 1-0 semifinal victory against fifth-seed New Haven at
Sullivan Field at the Plumeri Sports Complex. Top-seed Saint Rose will now host either second-seed American International or third-seed Adelphi who are playing this evening in Springfield.
Junior midfielder
Meeghan Arno again provided the game-winner to lift the Golden Knights (18-0-2) who are ranked #4 in the final regular-season
NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division II Poll. Arno also delivered the lone strike in Tuesday's 1-0 quarterfinal triumph against Franklin Pierce.
This one came off an indirect restart as Arno collected a short lateral feed from senior midfielder
Sydney Bond and let go a shot from 20-yards out that whistled beyond the outstretched arms of New Haven junior keeper Natasha Purchla and into the far upper-right corner.
Purchla wound up with four saves for the Chargers (13-5-3). Meanwhile, Saint Rose senior keeper
Jessica Gerski did not need to make a stop as New Haven failed to generate a shot-on-goal despite engineering a 6-3 corner kick differential. Conversely, the Golden Knights directed five shots-on-target.
Prevously, Saint Rose won five consecutive NE-10 titles from 2007-11 before falling to eventual champion Southern New Hampshire in a semifinal encounter a year ago. Sunday's championship match is set to kickoff at 1:00 pm. It will be streamed live on
