Bryant Wins Regular Season Finale 1-0

October 27, 2004

COLCHESTER, Vt. - Sophomore Casey Grange's (Methuen, Mass.) first-half goal was the difference as Bryant University blanked Saint Michael's College, 1-0, in Northeast-10 Conference women's soccer action on Wednesday at Doc Jacobs Field.

For the Bulldogs, freshman Lauren Childers (Franklin, Mass.) assisted on Grange's game-winner, while senior Kim Rekart (Ellicott City, Md.) turned back three shots for Bryant (13-4-2, 9-3-2 NE-10). The Bulldogs can still finish anywhere from second to sixth in the league standings.

Freshman Gillian Goldman (Stratham, N.H./Exeter) stopped eight shots for Saint Michael's,

The visitors got all the scoring they would need 19:43 into the contest, as Childers slipped a pass to Grange, who held off a defender and right-footed a low shot off of the inside right post.

The Purple Knights had a prime opportunity to even the score midway through the second stanza, but sophomore Jenn Kerns' (Waltham, Mass./Waltham) blast from 10 yards out sailed just over the crossbar. Another chance by Sporer in the waning minutes hit the top of the net.

Bryant next game will be in the Northeast-10 Conference Tournament against an opponent and place to be determined. The game will defiantly be on Sunday, October 31. Go to www.bryantbulldogs.com soon to see who and where they will play.
