THE BASICS:

- Score: Assumption 2, Adelphi 0

- Records: Adelphi (8-7-1, 7-7 NE10), Assumption (9-6-2, 8-4-2 NE10)

- Location: Garden City, N.Y. ()

- The Lead: Senior Kallie Villemaire (Plattsburgh, N.Y. / Beekmantown) set the school's all-time goal record while giving her team a 1-0 lead, and her defense did the rest, posting an impressive shutout as Assumption ended the regular season with a 2-0 victory over Adelphi on the road Saturday evening.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

- Villemaire put Assumption on the board in the 26th minute. The senior took a cross from Johnna Caporuscio (Wayne, N.J. / Wayne Hills) and headed it off the crossbar and into the net for the 1-0 lead.

- In the 54th minute, Caporuscio added to the lead with her third goal of the year. She got past the defense to go one-on-one with the keeper and finished it in the near post for a 2-0 advantage.

- Assumption's defense held firm and didn't allow a shot on goal over the final 20 minutes of action, providing the shutout.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:

- Adelphi outshot the Hounds 23-11 overall, including a 15-3 edge in the second half. The Panthers also had two more corners (5-3) but couldn't break through the Assumption defense. It is the seventh straight game the Hound defense hs allowed one more fewer goals.

- Villemaire's goal gave her 47 for her career, breaking the previous school record of 46, which was set by Stephanie Martin from 1996-99. Villemaire also has 103 points, the third most in program history.

- Alexis Nason (Saco, Maine / Thornton Academy) made four saves and played the first half to secure her eighth win of the year, while Katie Hammer (Greenlawn, N.Y. / Harborfields) was impressive with eight second-half saves to perserve the shutout. Sarah Hofmeier took the loss in net for Adelphi while making seven saves.
