THROGGS NECK, NY – After playing two straight on the road, the Maritime College women's soccer team returned to Reinhart Field on Tuesday for a Skyline Conference matchup with Mount St. Mary.  The contest was scoreless at halftime, but the Knights (1-6-2, 1-0-2 Skyline) notched a pair of second half goals to earn a 2-0 win over the Privateers (5-3-0, 2-2-0 Skyline).

Devon Etienne (Garden City, NY) was peppered early on, making four saves in the first 15 minutes.  Mount St. Mary also had a shot sail just over the crossbar.  The Privateers, meanwhile, had their best scoring chance in the 28^th minute, when Hannah Crown's (Athens, NY) attempt was stopped by Mount St. Mary goalkeeper Christina Kakavas.  The Knights outshot the Privateers 9-2 in the first half, but Etienne was credited with six saves to keep it a 0-0 game.

Mount St. Mary broke through for a goal early in the second half.  Maria Baldwin sent a cross to Kaitlin Hansen in the 49^th minute, and she put it home to give the Knights a 1-0 lead.  Mount St. Mary nearly scored again in the 61^st minute, but Sara Williams (Oceanside, NY) prevented the goal with a spectacular header on the end line.

The Privateers had a chance to tie the game in the 69^th minute.  Three successive shots by Kathryn Sandford (Floral Park, NY), Stephanie DeMan (Millbrook, NY) and Williams were blocked, then, after a corner kick, Crown saw her attempt blocked, as well.  Mount St. Mary added an insurance tally from Darla Petricca in the 88^th minute, as Maritime fell at home for the first time this season.
