MANCHESTER, N.H. –Senior Lori Robinson (Bow, NH) scored a pair of goals to lead Southern New Hampshire University to a 4-1 Northeast-10 women’s soccer victory over American International College at Larkin Field Tuesday night.  The Penmen close out their season with a 8-10-1 mark overall and a 6-8 Northeast-10 ledger, while the Yellow Jackets finish 7-13 and 2-12 in the league.

Despite the win, the Penmen did not secure a berth in the upcoming Northeast-10 Tournament which starts Sunday.  Southern New Hampshire was eliminated from playoff contention by virtue of a 1-0 win by UMass Lowell over Saint Michael’s earlier in the day.

On a night in which SNHU honored five seniors prior to the contest, the departing players had a hand in all four Penmen goals.  Robinson got the Penmen on the board at the 16:52 mark when she scored an unassisted tally.  10:59 later, the Penmen would make it 2-0 when senior Michelle Moore (Duxbury, MA) scored off a pass from classmate Laurie Boland (Worcester, MA).  American International would halve the lead 5:06 before halftime when Morgan Mastronardi (Corunna, ONT) scored off an assist from Cassie Ashwell (Agawam, MA).

The hosts would strike for two more goals in the game’s final 11:19.  Junior Nicole Ebner (Rochester, NY) would make it 3-1 in the 79th minute when she headed home a corner kick by Boland.  Robinson would close out the scoring with four seconds left when she scored on a breakaway.

Junior Stef Young (Natick, MA) made two saves en route to the win for the Penmen.  Danielle Hodecker (West Springfield, MA) made seven stops for the Yellow Jackets, who were outshot 15-7.

Seniors Boland, Moore, Robinson, Stephanie Jones (Barnstable, MA) and Nicole Vailas (Manchester, NH) all played in their final game for the Penmen.
