Déjà vu all over again. Another early score and stout performance from the backline propelled Siena Women's Soccer to a third straight 1-0 triumph – all over America East opponents – with a victory Sunday afternoon at Bryant.
Cate Burns registered her third straight clean sheet by making four of her six saves in the second half for Siena (3-1), which is now unbeaten in seven straight (5-0-2) against America East competition. Bryant (0-1-1) held an 11-5 advantage in shots and a 5-2 margin in corners for the afternoon.
The Saints took advantage of the lone legitimate scoring chance from either side in the opening half, coming in the 22
nd minute.
Tiana Mainella centered to
Maya Costa who connected for her second collegiate match-winning tally.
Siena will look to continue its dominance over the America East when the Saints square off with reigning regular season champion Binghamton in a fourth straight – and final – non-conference game against an America East foe Thursday at 6 p.m. in the Southern Tier.
