THE BASICS
Score: The College of Saint Rose 3, Assumption University 0
Records: Greyhounds (2-3-4, 0-3-2 NE10) | Golden Knights (10-0, 5-0 NE10)
HOW IT HAPPENED
Assumption came out with a lot of energy as they tried to meet the Golden Knights with physicality. Delaney Farinha and Kate Carleson fired shots wide, trying to test the keeper. After some pressure from the visitors, Mia Klammer opened the scoring off of a Sydney Myers assist. Only four minutes later, Klammer added another one with a header off of a Jada Brown cross. While Assumption made attacking substitutions to try and change it up, Saint Rose controlled the remainder of the second half. One last shot came from Ella Brower, but Kaylah Seavey saved it. At the break, Saint Rose was up 2-0.
Not long into the second half, Klammer completed her hat-trick, punching a rebound from a Seavey save into an open goal. Haleigh Ward and Farinha tried applying more pressure, with Ward's effort being saved by Peyton Derouen, and Farinha's shot was blocked. Those two continued to apply pressure, and so did Amaia Astiasaran, whose effort was above the crossbar. Towards the end, Assumption put their foot on the gas until the last whistle but could not convert any chances. The final score would be 3-0 in favor of the visitors in the Golden Knights.
