helped the Bryant University women's soccer team break a nine
game winless streak, as they beat Wagner, 3-2, Sunday afternoon.
The win was the second of the year for the Bulldogs and their first
against a future Northeast Conference opponent. Senior captain
Danielle Malta (Bethel, Conn.) also scored for
Bryant. It was her first career goal coming on a penalty kick in
the first half of play.
The Seahawks would strike first in this one, as Dominique Bonura
put home a goal in the 10th minute of play to put Wagner
on top, 1-0. After a foul in the box on Wagner in the
31st minute, Malta stepped up to the penalty spot for
Bryant and scored her first collegiate goal, beating keeper Sam
Schueschner to tie the game at 1-1 going into the half.
Malta would help the Bulldogs take the lead early in the second,
this time finding teammate Kaitlyn Hinck in the 48th
minute of play to put Bryant in front, 2-1. Wagner continued to
fight, tying the game in the 71st minute on a breakaway
goal by Briana Vassallo who was able to beat keeper Jessica
Neales (Swansea, Mass.). Neales made six stops in net for
the Bulldogs.
With the game tied, Bryant would have the last say in this
back-and-forth battle, as junior Holly Tyser (Somers,
Conn.) crossed a ball into the box that found Hinck once
again for the game winning goal in the 73rd minute.
Hinck now leads the team with four goals on the season, and has
scored the game winning goals in both Bryant wins. It was the first
win for the Bulldogs since their season opener, when they beat
Northern Colorado, 3-2, in overtime.
Bryant will travel to play Brown on Wednesday (7:00 p.m.).
