A Narrow Victory at Hickey Field

Siena’s women’s soccer team edged out New Hampshire 1‑0 in a tightly contested match at Hickey Field, ending the Wildcats’ five‑match unbeaten streak.

The decisive moment came in the 12th minute when Catherine Rogers slipped a low strike past the UNH keeper, sending the home crowd into celebration.

Rogers’ Point Streak Continues

Rogers’ goal marked her seventh consecutive match with a point, a run that began earlier in the season and includes winners against Merrimack and Bryant. The score extended her career tally to three game‑winning goals.

A Defensive Masterclass

Goalkeeper Cate Burns was a wall between the posts, making six saves and delivering a crucial stop on Amber Clarke’s 77th‑minute header. Alongside her, Grace Crowley, Lindsey Harrington and Hayden Valentine helped limit New Hampshire to just four shots on target.

Siena outshot the Wildcats 11‑9, with Briana Neary leading the attack with four attempts, two of which tested the UNH defense. Rogers added two shots on goal, underscoring her offensive involvement.

Looking Ahead

The Saints will host UAlbany on Thursday at 5 p.m. at Hickey Field, seeking to build on the win. Meanwhile, UAlbany dropped their opener 5‑1 to Boston University, setting the stage for a competitive matchup.
