-The Lead: The Assumption College women's soccer team shut out Northeast-10 Conference opponent Stonehill by a score of 2-0 on Wednesday night at the Assumption College Multi-Sport Stadium. The win snaps the Greyhounds' two-loss streak and improves their record to 3-3 in the NE-10.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

-The Hounds took the lead in the 13th minute when sophomore Amanda Arnold (Saco, Maine / Thornton Academy) dribbled up the right side past the 10 yard line and worked past a Skyhawk defender to cross the ball in front of the net. Arnold found senior Paige Radomski (Kingston, Mass. / Silver Lake Regional) on the other side who followed up with a quick kick into the left side of the net for the 1-0 advantage. 

-The Hounds had several chances to increase the lead, including in the 30th minute when freshman Kallie Villemaire (Plattsburgh, N.Y. / Beekmantown) played a smart ball up the middle past a Stonehill defender to find Arnold near the net. The pass was intercepted by a Skyhawk defender, however, and booted out of scoring range.

-Assumption went up by two with less than 12 minutes left in the second half. Radomski sent a pass past all defenders to Villemaire around the 40-yard line. Villemaire dribbled the remainder of the field, lined up and shot into the bottom right corner for the 2-0 lead.

-With 2:19 left in the half, Stonehill's Meagan Elliott had an opportunity to reduce the Skyhawk deficit to one on a penalty kick. She lined up and fired high, however, to allow the Hounds to remain up by two. 

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:

-In the first half, Assumption outshot the Skyhawks 14-3 overall while the two squads tied 2-2 in corner kicks. The Hounds held a 12-9 advantage in shots in the second period for a total of 26-12 on the day. 

-Radomski led the Hounds in the first half with five shots, four on goal, while freshman Jessica FitzGerald (Uxbridge, Mass. / Uxbridge) also racked up five shots in the first frame.

-Radomski led all players with nine shots on the day, five on goal.

-The Hounds slightly edged the Skyhawks with five corner kicks overall to Stonehill's four.

-Lipinski registered four saves in her 90 minutes between the posts compared to 10 for Stonehill's Jamie Block.

BEHIND THE BOX SCORE:
