Coach Biggs' Comments:

 "I thought we played our best soccer of the season in the first 20 minutes. We defended well and our press and passing put us in very good positions to score. We created such good chances that we reasonably could have been ahead 3-0 after the first 20 minutes or so.  After the great start, our level dipped and from there we fought hard to grind out the tie. Our challenge as we move forward is to play with the same high level of confidence from start to finish."

Key Moments:
  • In the 15th minute, a handball gave Bryant a penalty and Zaslaw converted from the spot.
  • Shortly after, URI's Jill Rosenfled had a shot on net that Shannon Mejia got a hand on but it ultimately crossed the goal line.
  • Morgan Nelson rips a shot from outside the box but Dani Eden got a hand on it and tipped it over the net.
  • In the last 10 minutes of the game, Shannon Mejia makes a crucial save on a header off a URI corner kick to keep the game even.
Scoring Summary:
  • 15th minute: After a handball is called in URI's box, Sammy Zaslaw aims for the lower right corner and puts the Bulldogs up 1-0.
  • 24th minute: Jill Rosenfled took a shot that Shannon Mejia was able to get a hand on, but the ball rolled over the goal line.
Game Notes:
  • Bryant is now 4-4-2 all-time against URI.
  • Samantha Zaslaw converted her third penalty kick of the season.
  • Zaslaw has now scored all four of Bryant's goals this season. She has eight goals in her Bryant career.
