THE BASICS:

- Score: Assumption 1, Saint Anselm 0

- Records: Assumption (4-2, 2-1 NE-10); St. Thomas Aquinas (2-4, 0-3 NE-10)

- Location: Manchester, N.H.

- The Lead: A goal by Amanda Arnold (Saco, Maine/ Thornton Academy) in the 69th minute of play proved to be the difference as the Assumption women's soccer team earned their second conference win, with a 1-0 victory over Saint Anselm on Saturday afternoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

- The teams played to a scoreless first half, with the Hawks actually outshooting Assumption 10-7, though just three of the ten shots were on net.

- The second half remained 0-0 until the 69th minute when Arnold scored her seventh goal of the year. The junior dribbled into the box and put a shot into the lower left corner for the goal, with an assist from Emily Hill (Dedham, Mass. / Dedham).

- St. Anselm couldn't earn a shot the rest of the half against the stout Hound defense, and Hill had a shot hit the post in the final two minutes as Assumption came away with the one-goal victory.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:

- Assumption freshman goalkeeper Alexis Nason (Saco, Maine/ Thornton Academy) earned her first win and shutout, making five saves in victory.

- The Hound offense totaled 18 shots and Arnold led the team in shots with five, while teammate Nikki Callini (West Springfield, Mass. / West Springfield) added three. Conversely, the Hawk offense had 12 shots in the contest but just two in the second half.
