THROGGS NECK, NY – Kiera Ford's (Montgomery, NY) 29^th-minute goal proved to be the difference on Tuesday night, as the Maritime College women's soccer team (6-6-1, 3-5-1 Skyline) earned a 1-0 win over St. Joseph's Brooklyn (3-8-1, 2-7-0 Skyline) at Reinhart Field.  The victory, Maritime's third 1-0 triumph of the season, snapped the Privateers' six-game winless streak.

After a takeaway at midfield, Annaliese Etienne (Garden City, NY) sent a long pass to Ford, who was streaking down the left side.  St. Joseph's Brooklyn goalkeeper Julia Marin came out of the net, but Ford was able to slip a blast from 30 yards out over her head and in.  It was her team-leading seventh score of the season, while Etienne was credited with her second assist.

The Privateers nearly doubled their lead in the 72^nd minute, when Kathryn Sandford (Floral Park, NY) and Ford each had a shot blocked.  Ford then had another attempt sail wide in the 79^th minute.  The Bears' Katherine Barrios got off a late shot, but it was easily saved and Maritime came away with the 1-0 win.

Devon Etienne (Garden City, NY) (6-6-1) made three saves in her fourth shutout of the year.  Marin (2-8-1), meanwhile, recorded three saves for St. Joseph's Brooklyn.

On Friday, Maritime concludes its home schedule with a 5 p.m. matchup against Old Westbury (5-10-0, 1-7-0 Skyline).  The Privateers will honor their three graduating seniors—Erin Hartill (Sound Beach, NY), Jenna Lesiewicz (Wading River, NY) and Sandford—prior to the game.
