Huskies drop two to Memorial

(St. John's, NL) – The Memorial Sea-Hawks women's soccer team was able to complete the weekend sweep of the Saint Mary's Huskies with a 9-0 victory on Sunday afternoon at King George V soccer pitch.

Memorial opened the scoring early on Sunday, with Jessie Noseworthy (St. John's, NL) setting up Nicole Torraville (St. John's, NL) just 15 seconds into the game.  The Sea-Hawks were able to control much of the play in the first half and outshot the Huskies 11 to 1. 

Huskies keeper Samantha Sarty was tested often and made a number of point blank saves to keep the visitors in the game. 

Maria Mackey (St. John's, NL) was very active around the net in the first half and she was rewarded with two goals for her efforts.  The Sea-Hawks would go into the half up 3-0.

The Sea-Hawks continued their strong play into the second half and registered 12 shots to the Huskies 1.  Memorial was able to find the back of the net five times in the second half with goals coming from Hannah Rivkin (St. John's, NL), Emily Bailey (Mount Pearl, NL), and Nicole Torraville (St. John's, NL).  Jessie Noseworthy also added three for the Sea-Hawks to move her into first place in the AUS with 10 goals this season.

Noseworthy was the Subway Player of the Game registering three goals, while also adding two assists.

The Sea-Hawks take to the road next weekend to take on the UPEI Panthers and the Mount Allison Mounties.  The Huskies host UNB next Saturday at Huskies Staidum at 1 pm.
