October 2, 2004

SMITHFIELD, RI ? Saint Michael?s College used two second half goals to roll to a 3-1 win over Bryant University Saturday at the Bryant Field Hockey Complex.

The Purple Knights got on the board first when Megan Lagasse scored at 20:19 off an assist from Ashely Webb to make the score 1-0.

The Bulldogs responded with a goal of their own shortly after to tie the game 1-1. Awarded a corner, sophomore Michaela Dwyer (Buskirk, NY) passed a perfectly placed ball to fellow sophomore Dee Viveiros (Tiverton, RI) who blasted a shot past the Purple Knights goalkeeper for the score.

In the second half, SMC would add two more goals to earn the 3-1 win. Nikki Pickman scored the game-winner after taking a pass from teammate Amber Holcomb. Three minutes later, Lagasse would score her second goal of the game to put the game out of reach.

Bryant (5-8) will return to action Tuesday, October 5, when they travel to Merrimack. Game time is set for 3:30 p.m. in North Andover, Mass.
