Box Score

KINGSTON, R.I. - The Rhode Island women's soccer team lost to the La Salle Explorers 1-0 on Friday in Kingston, R.I.

La Salle scored the 1-0 advantage with 21:44 left in the first half when Kim Lisun crossed to Kristen Hextall. Hextall then headed the ball to the back of the net for the tally.

The Explorers tried to put another on the board but goalkeeper Ria Carroll broke up the 2-on-1 for the save.

In the second half Rhody out-shot the Explorers 8-4. Molly Bergren (North Kingstown, R.I.) had a big defensive save for Rhode Island off a shot from Hextall which could have been goal two for La Salle, but Bergren made the block before it had the chance.

Rhode Island is now 7-8-2 and 4-2-2 in A-10 play while the Explorers are 8-6-2 and 4-4-0.
