SAINT MICHAEL'S LEADERS

OPPONENT LEADERS

GAME FACTS

  • With two games remaining and much of the action around the league yet to be determined on Tuesday, Saint Michael's remains 11th in the NE10 with nine points, two short of a logjam for sixth place in a conference that takes the top eight into its postseason tournament. Two more teams are tied for ninth at 10 points.
  • Saint Michael's entered the day 13th in Division II in save percentage (.875) and 26th in goals-against average (0.58). The Purple and Gold had allowed only seven goals in 12 games.
  • This marked the 28th time in its past 32 outings since 2019 that Saint Michael's played a contest decided by one goal or less, including the 15th 1-0 game.
  • Saint Michael's held an 18-10 lead in shots, including 11-3 in the second half, while Bentley took three of the game's five corner kicks.
  • The teams played their fourth consecutive contest decided by one goal or less.

THE ACTION

  • Sophomore Nathalie Larsson (Gothenburg, Sweden/Sjölins Gymnasium/Morningside) sent a shot from the edge of the box in the 12th minute that Ewen needed to jump to catch.
  • Bentley broke through at the 16-minute mark, as sophomore Gabby Vachon's pass to senior Brooke Jones was touched past the back line, sending O'Connor in alone on Escobedo.
  • Escobedo averted further damage with leaping saves in the 40th and 41st minute, including denying first-year Scarlett D'Amico's latter bid by tapping the ball back to herself and regaining her balance on the goal line.
  • The netminder again turned D'Amico away in the 66th minute, going low to stop her redirection from out front.
  • Senior Liliana Silva was sent on a breakaway in the 82nd minute, but Escobedo came out of her net to challenge the bid and make a big save.
  • In the waning minutes, senior Izzy Ruprecht (Kingston, Mass./Silver Lake Regional) sent a shot from the right side of the box in the 87th minute, but Ewen dove to catch the ball with a pair of Purple Knights crashing on the far side.
