MATCH MOMENTS
  • The Herons jumped on New Paltz right from the opening whistle. Brown had a chance in the second minute that was turned aside by Centeri. Forty seconds later, sophomore Casey Holstein's attempt was smothered by the Hawks' goalie.
  • The Herons appeared to take a lead in the seventh minute, but the goal was waved off as a William Smith player was offside.
  • New Paltz's first chance of the game came in the 12th minute. Alyssa Deutsch collected a pass from Kennedy Jones, but her shot was turned aside by a diving Goerke.
  • In the 18th minute, Goerke turned aside an attempt from Brooke Kelleher.
  • William Smith broke through in the 22nd minute. Brown collected a pass from senior Anna Nichols, deked around a defender, and fired a shot past a diving Centeri. It was Brown's first goal of the season.
  • The Herons continued to pile up the offensive zone pressure with senior Julia Accioly having a pair of shots turned aside by the Hawks' goalie.
  • In the 33rd minute, Bragg fired a shot off the left goal post. Thirty seconds later, she ran onto a pass from Accioly and chipped a shot from the top of the 18-yard box over the goalie's head for her third goal of the season. First-year Addison Stockwin also had an assist on the goal.
  • In the 43rd minute, Pryzwansky nearly made it 3-0, but her shot from near the penalty spot was swiped off the line by a New Paltz defender.
  • The Hawks had the first two chances of the second half. Brooke Kelleher fired a shot just over the crossbar and Mia Baldinger's attempt was turned aside by Goerke.
  • In the 59th minute, Ruth Hotaling's penalty kick was stopped by Centeri.
  • Kennedy Jones had New Paltz's best chance of the afternoon, but her shot ricocheted off the crossbar.

COACH'S CORNER
"What a great result for our first home game of the year," Head Coach Laura Burnett-Kurie '08 said. "We played some of our best soccer for the first 25 minutes and it was an absolute joy to watch. After Fridays game, we challenged the team to hone in on specific areas , especially our backline, and we thought they showed immediate improvement in those areas. Each day we are looking to grow as a collective group, play with freedom and grit, and show up for our teammates. Today was no exception and it was fun to get our first shutout of the season and to earn our first win on Cozzens field for 2025."


UP NEXT
William Smith will be back in action on Saturday, Sept. 6, when it heads to Salisbury, Maryland, for the 2025 Salisbury Classic. The Herons will begin their three-game road trip when they take on St. Mary's (Md.) at 4 p.m.
