Two Second-Half Goals Lift Becker Over St. Joe’s

STANDISH, MAINE - Visiting Becker College (6-7) held a slim 1-0 lead going into half-time, but added two goals in the 47th and 48th minutes to seal a 3-0 victory.

Although Becker out-shot St. Joe's 16-9 in the first half, the teams were evenly matched. The Monks failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities, but sophomore keeper Kelsey Moody (Gardiner, ME) made 10 of her season-high 14 saves in the half to keep St. Joe's in the game.

A late goal by Jenny Boggess at 33:16 seemed to break the team's cohesiveness and led to defensive problems in the second half. Elizabeth Hatheway and Kaitlyn Gramstorff both scored for Becker just over a minute apart to put the game out of reach.

Sophomore Darcy Ward (Dresden, ME), junior Monique Crawford (Peru, ME) and junior Sarah Kay (Lewiston, ME) recorded 14 of St. Joe's 19 shots in the game.

The team returns to action on 10/22 for a 12:00 game at Wheaton College (MA).
