Box Score
ROCHESTER–The College of Saint Rose scored near the midway point of each half to defeat host Roberts Wesleyan 2-0 earlier today. Senior forward
Carmelina Puopolo scored the game-winner and also assisted on the second tally to lead the Golden Knights (4-0) attack.
Â
Saint Rose, which is ranked #5 in the first regular-season
NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division II Poll, engineered a 15-3 shot advantage and manufactured 10 corners, while yielding only four.
Â
Puopolo found the back of the net with 31:13 gone by with a shot from just outside the area. She then sent senior midfielder
Emily Benjamin in on a breakaway with 78:52 elapsed that Benjamin buried for an insurance marker.
Â
Sophomore keeper
Ashley Homer recorded a save in each half en route to her third clean sheet of the season, while Roberts Wesleyan (2-1) senior Marissa Sell was forced to turn aside eight shots-on-target to keep the RedHawks within striking distance.
Â
Looking ahead, the Golden Knights open the
Northeast-10 Conference portion of their 2014 schedule Wednesday with a 4:00 pm meeting at
Upstate Challenge rival Le Moyne in Syracuse. Meanwhile, Roberts Wesleyan is home again Tuesday with a 5:00 pm date versus Gannon.
