New Haven, Conn. - The visiting Trinity College Bantams scored three second-half goals to collect a 3-0 victory over the Albertus Magnus College Falcons in women's soccer action this afternoon.  Trinity improves to 4-2 1 and 4-0 out of the New England Small College Athletic Conference with its fifth vicotry over the Falcons in as many all-time tries.  Albertus Magnus drops to 5-4 with its first setback in five games.  Trinity will host league rival Bates on Saturday, September 27 in its next game.

The first half featured strong defense on both sides as Trinity held just a 2-0 shot advantage while each team had two corner kicks.  Trinity senior forward Karyn Barrett (Cape Elizabeth, Maine) opened the scoring in the 55th minute, heading in high ball that had been crossed to her off sophomore forward Andi Nicholson's (Pomfret, Conn.) head from the left side of the goal.  Trinity junior forward Abigail Siebert (Melrose, Mass.) scored on a similar play one minute later when classmate Kelsey Thomas (Stonington, Conn.) sent a nice cross into the box that Siebert headed home.

After Trinity nearly took a 3-0 lead when sophomore Laura Nee (Duxbury, Mass.) blasted the ball just over the cross bar in the 59th minute, the Falcons saw a scoring chance thwarted by Bantam junior keeper Monica DiFiori (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) in the 63rd minute when junior forward Acacia Nelson (Bridgeport, Conn.) saw her point blank shot saved in dramatic fashion for DiFiori's lone save of the contest.  Junior goalkeeper Maria Case (West Haven, Conn.) had four saves for the Falcons.  Trinity tacked on a goal in 89th minute as Thomas sent a through ball to sophomore forward Taylor Kennedy (Hartford, Conn.) who controlled the ball and fired past Case from the middle of the box.
