WEST HAVEN, Conn. - The Saint Michael's College women's soccer team (5-10-2, 4-9-2 Northeast-10 Conference) ended its season on Sunday with a 3-2 loss at the University of New Haven on Sunday afternoon.

Juniors Laura Ostrout (Northfield, Vt./Northfield) and Kristin Hagenbarth (Killington, Vt./Woodstock Union/Univ. of Vermont)) each scored a goal in the setback, Saint Michael's fifth straight one-goal loss to end the season. Fellow junior Brittany Cocozza (East Greenwich, R.I./East Greenwich (Saint John's)) stopped nine shots in the loss.

For New Haven (8-7-2, 6-6-2 NE-10), Holly Dawson's sixth goal of the season with 12:41 left in regulation proved to be the game-winner. Lucy Francisco and Emily Buckley-Matura also scored, and Kim Taylor stopped four shots.

New Haven led 1-0 at halftime, but Ostrout and Hagenbarth scored in the first 8:25 of the second half to give Saint Michael's a 2-1 edge. The Purple Knights maintained their lead for nearly 14 minutes, but with less than 23 minutes left in the second half, Buckley-Matura's goal evened the score at 2-all, and 10 minutes later, Dawson's scored sealed the win for the Chargers.

New Haven held a 17-7 edge in shots, and a 9-0 advantage in corner kicks.

The contest ended the careers of four Saint Michael's seniors: Mary Diebold (Northfield, Vt./Northfield), Liz Freiberger (South Walpole, Mass./Walpole), Katie Murphy (Woodbridge, Conn./Amity Regional), and Jenn Senecal (Yarmouth, Maine/Yarmouth).
