Purchase, N.Y. - Freshman Shawna Altdorf (Broolyn, Conn.) scored her second goal in as many days to give Trinity College the lead in the 63rd minute and classmate Lily Pepper (Princeton Junction, N.J.) made three saves in her collegiate debut in goal, as the Bantams downed the Keene State College Owls, 3-1, in the second round of the Valiant Women's Soccer Classic at Manhattanville College this afternoon.  Trinity improves to 2-0, the best record of the four teams in the tournament, while the Owls fall to 3-1.

Altdorf netted the go-ahead goal on a cross by fellow rookie Jenny Ley (Warwick, R.I.), after the teams had carried a 1-1 tie into intermission.  Keene State opned the scoring with a goal by Katie Bradford (Lebanon, N.H.) 9:18 into the contest, but Trinity freshman Leigh Howard (Bethany, Conn.) answered with a game-tying score in the 19th minute off a corner kick.  Bantam junior Caitlin Prendergast (Braintree, Mass.) took advantage of a goalie mistake by the Owls to add an insurance goal with 11:2 left in the game, and Trinity would need that score as the Owls pulled within one goal on a late penalty kick goal by Shannon Hennessey (Essex Junction, Vt.).
