MANCHESTER, N.H. –Laurie Boland (Worcester, MA) scored off a free kick with 1:19 remaining in regulation to lift Southern New Hampshire University to a 2-1 Northeast-10 women’s soccer victory over Le Moyne College at Larkin Field Saturday afternoon.  The Penmen improve to 7-10-1 overall and 5-8 in NE-10 play, while the Dolphins are now 8-8-1 and 4-8-1 in the league.

Boland’s sixth goal of the season (third game-winner) was set up late when Kate Ross (Brunswick, ME) was fouled at the top of the box.  On the restart, Boland fired a ball around the Dolphin wall and found the bottom left corner of the goal past diving Le Moyne keeper Amanda Abbatiello (Liverpool, NY).
