LOUDONVILLE, NY – Dolene Smith scored in the 70
th minute and Kayla Kalbaugh spun a 10-save shutout as Iona spoiled Siena Women's Soccer Senior Day 1-0 on Hickey Field.
Smith finished a corner from Zaheira Hegazi to propel Iona (6-8-2, 3-6-1) to its first win in the series since 2013 and first victory in Loudonville in 26 years. The Gaels snapped a 15-match losing streak overall against Siena (11-4-1, 7-3), and a 15-match winless streak (0-13-2) in the Capital Region.
The Saints registered season-highs in both shots and corners in holding decided 24-6 and 9-3 advantages, respectively, but couldn't solve Kalbaugh as Siena saw its five-match win streak snapped.
