NASHUA, N.H. – Rivier University (7-2-2, 6-1-1 GNAC) converted a pair of penalty kicks to defeat Saint Joseph's College (3-5-2, 3-3-2 GNAC), 3-1, in a Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) women's soccer contest on Saturday afternoon.

Elisabeth Jacob was tripped in the box by the Monks (3-5-2, 3-3-2 GNAC), earning Jordan Butters the opportunity to take a penalty kick, where she capitalized to put the Raiders up 1-0 just under nine minutes into the first half.

14:12 into the first half, Olivia Maxwell tapped in her first goal of the season with an assist from Kaylee Magoon to double the host team's lead.

In the 51st minute, Eliese Perron of SJC beat the Raiders' defense and goalkeeper to nudge in a goal and cut the Monks' deficit to just one goal.

Late in the second half, Jacob caused another foul in the box, earning her second penalty kick of the game. Butters once again was true from the spot, giving the home side a two-goal lead, which would be held until the final whistle.

Rivier took twice as many shots on goal as SJC, 14-7 as Raiders' keeper Bri Nugent posted three saves as she collected the victory. SJC senior Carly Downey made four saves for the visitors.

Saint Joseph's will host Emmanuel College on Wednesday in a conference contest set to start at 7:30 PM.
