Box Score

How it Happened

Freshman Dariann Sellitti headed in a service from senior Adrienne Ruhe Lischke just 12 minutes into the game to put URI in front, 1-0. Ruhe Lischke went on to set up the game-winner, sending another set piece into the box where junior Torey Hart deflected the ball to senior Stephanie Santos, who then tallied her third goal of the season at 44:38. Syracuse quickly made it a 2-1 game as Cecilia Borgstrom scored with just nine seconds remaining in the frame, but neither team found the back of the net in the second half, giving Rhody its third win of the season.
