The Lead: The Assumption women's soccer team outshot No. 5 Stonehill and had nearly three times as many corner kicks, but a late first-half goal provided to be the difference as the Skyhawks escaped with a 1-0 victory in Easton on Wednesday afternoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

- The Hounds peppered Stonehill with shots throughout the first half, accumulating an 8-2 advantage through the first 40 minutes, but it was the Skyhawks who got on the board as Lyida Beiter scored in the 44th minute to give the home team a 1-0 lead at the break.

- Assumption had four more shots less than ten minutes into the second half and kept pressuring the Skyhawks throughout the remainder of the contest.

- The team had mutliple chances in the final ten minutes, including a shot by Jessica FitzGerald (Uxbridge, Mass. / Uxbridge) which was saved by a Stonehill defender, but the Skyhawks just managed to keep the Hounds off the board.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:

- Assumption finished with a 17-4 shot advantage in the contest, including a 9-1 edge in the second half. The Hounds also had 11 corner kicks to just three for Stonehill.

- Alexis Nason (Saco, Maine / Thornton Academy) took the loss for Assumption, allowing one goal without a save in 90 minutes. Jamie Block, meanwhile, made seven saves for Stonehill to earn the victory.

- Amanda Arnold (Saco, Maine / Thornton Academy) led the team with four shots, three on goal, while Emily MacDonald (Ludlow, Mass. / The Williston Northampton School) added a pair of shots on goal.
