Siena Women's Soccer Edges Past New Hampshire
The Saints posted a 1-0 victory over the Wildcats at Hickey Field in Loudonville, NY on Sunday, snapping the visitors' five‑match unbeaten run.
Freshman forward Catherine Rogers broke the deadlock in the 12th minute, her seventh consecutive point streak extending to a career‑high seven matches.
Between the posts, goalkeeper Cate Burns turned in a six‑save performance that preserved the clean sheet, while Siena’s back line limited New Hampshire’s chances.
Siena’s attacking midfielder Briana Neary led the team with four attempts, two of which tested the Wildcats’ keeper, and she also contributed a shot on target alongside Rogers.
The defensive effort was complemented by solid work from midfielders Anna Swyers, Grace Crowley and Lindsey Harrington, who helped control possession and limit counter‑attacks.
Veteran players Hayden Valentine, Noelle Gorham, Amber Clarke and Sonja Zeepvat also featured in the lineup, adding depth to a balanced Saints side.
With the win, Siena improves to 5‑3‑2 in the all‑time series against New Hampshire, a record that dates back to a 2015 victory over the Wildcats.
The Saints will look to keep the momentum when they host UAlbany at the same venue on Thursday, August 20, a match that could further shape their early season standing.
Coach Anna Swyers praised the team’s discipline after the game, noting that the shutout reflects the collective effort of both starters and reserves.
