Seniors shine in 2-1 Seahawk victory

Moniz scores first goal of game to get Salve Regina started on way to win

NEWPORT, R.I. -- Salve Regina University women's soccer celebrated their seven seniors in pre-game ceremonies and one of them - Meghan Moniz - put the Seahawks on top in the 13th minute with her first collegiate goal as the hosts defeated visiting Mount Holyoke College, 2-1, in NEWMAC action on Reynolds Field on Saturday afternoon.

Meghan Moniz was joined by classmates Abby Hudgins, Jenna Hudgins, Bridget Kawecki, Shae Minicucci, Rachael Stortz, and Mia Tsaparlis with their respective families before the noontime start and then the entire Seahawk squad shared a moment on field to honor their seniors.

With a 1-0 lead, recently inserted juniors Hannah Daniewicz and Marissa Perachi, along with sophomore Lily Chhun, doubled their advantage when Daniewicz finished off a pair of crosses for her team-leading fourth goal of the season in the 34th minute. Stortz played the full 90 minutes for the goalkeeping decision.

INSIDE THE MATCHUP
Final: Salve Regina 2, Mount Holyoke 1
Records: Salve Regina (2-7-2, 1-0-2 NEWMAC), Mount Holyoke (3-2-3, 0-2-1 NEWMAC)
History: Seahawks have won a pair of one-goal decisions in their only meetings with the Lyons since becoming a NEWMAC member in 2023. Last year, Hannah Daniewicz's two second-half goals led to a 3-2 victory in South Hadley, Massachusetts.

SUMMARY NOTEWORTHY
  • The visitors outshot the hosts (15-to-11) but the Seahawks had more shots on frame (six to three).
  • Salve Regina trailed in corner kicks at halftime (four to three) and then doubled its total in the final 45 minutes while keeping Mount Holyoke from any opportunities.
  • The Seahawks were whistled for nine fouls, while the Lyons picked up a Yellow Card after the final horn.
QUOTABLE SEAHAWKS
"Always a great day to honor our seven seniors. They put in a lot of work for four years and we get to celebrate them. They brought energy and grit which helped us play 90 minutes. It was great to see the assist from Bridget to Meghan for a team goal. We approach one game at a time and work to be a consistent, competitive and one team." -- Seahawk head coach Tanya Roberts

ON THE HORIZON
The Seahawks head to Boston, Massachusetts, for a Wednesday evening (6 p.m.) match with the Lions of Emerson College.
