Dion Nets Lone Goal in Women's Soccer's 1-0 Win Over Pace
BRIARVILLE, N.Y.- The Merrimack women's soccer
team picked up a 1-0 victory over Pace Friday afternoon. The
Warriors improve to 8-1-1 in the Northeast-10 and 8-2-2 overall.
The Setters fall to 3-9 on the year and 1-9 in the league.
After the first 45 minutes yielded no goals, Merrimack grabbed
the 1-0 lead seven minutes into the second half. Freshman
Danielle Dion
(North Grosvenordale, Conn.) potted her team-leading sixth
goal of the 2010 campaign. Dion finished a feed from Jessie
DeGraan (Braintree, Mass.)
Dion's tally was all the offense needed in the match for the
Warriors. The combination of the stingy Merrimack backline and
junior goalkeeper Kiley Horne
(Scituate, Mass.) preserved the shutout and the win. Horne
recorded her fourth clean sheet of the season and picked up her
eighth win in a three-save performance.
The Warriors outshot Pace 9-5 in the match and fired five shots
on goal while the Setters managed three on frame. Merrimack held an
overwhelming advantage in corner kicks awarded, 13-3.
Action resumes for the Warriors October 10 as they host Le Moyne
in a Northeast-10 match at Warrior Field.
