HARRISONBURG,
Va., Sept. 27, 2012 -- Northeastern scored
two breakaway goals in the first half and beat James Madison 2-0 in Colonial Athletic Association women's soccer
Thursday evening at University Park.
The Huskies (4-7-0, 2-1-0) won for the third time in their last four starts, while JMU (3-8-0, 1-2-0) dropped its second game in a row.
Northeastern got an early lead as the Huskies scored on their first shot in the opening minutes of the match. Senior Sandra Magnusdottir (Reykjavik, Iceland/Verslunarskoli Islands) delivered a pass from behind the midfield line to redshirt sophomore Hannah O'Donnell (Dallas, Texas/Highland Park). O'Donnell raced ahead of the JMU defense and took control of the ball about 25 yards from the goal. She dribbled into the box and sent a 16-yard shot past redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Kate Courter (Lincoln Park, N.J./Immaculate Heart) and into the right corner of the goal.
Just before halftime the Huskies scored a second goal in a similar fashion. This time junior Hanna Terry (Park City, Utah/Park City) sent a ball from behind the midfield stripe to redshirt sophomore Devin Griffin (Whitman, Mass./Whitman-Hanson). Griffin controlled the ball a few yards outside the box, ahead of JMU's defenders, dribbled into the box and slipped a low shot into the right corner of the goal from 16 yards.
The Dukes had several quality scoring opportunities but Northeastern sophomore goalkeeper Paige Burnett (Placentia, Calif./Cypress) denied JMU five times to get her third shutout of the year.
