NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – Coming off their second straight Northeast 10 Conference win against Southern Connecticut, the Merrimack College women's soccer team looks to make it three straight as they take on New Haven Friday night on the road.

Last Time Out:

• Sophomore keeper Megan Langlois and the Warriors were tested in the first five minutes. After a cross inside the six-yard box pulled Langlois off her line, Johanna Wahlen missed an empty netter that could have given the Owls the early lead.
• Senior Tori Daigle nearly started the goal scoring in the 17^thminute. A beautiful through ball left her alone behind the last defender, but a great save by freshman Abigail Allen kept the game level.
• Merrimack led the Owls in shots, 10-6, but the halftime whistle blew with a 0-0 tie.
• In the 55^th minute, the Owls nearly broke level. A fantastic run through the back line from sophomore Meaghan Kelley was called back for offside, as the flag went up as she was finishing a shot into the back of the net.
• Merrimack got the first goal of the game in the 63^rd minute. Senior Gigi Guenther chested down a ball and fed through to senior Tori Daigle who was just outside the 18; with one touch, she was able to slide in between the ball and the Owl keeper, tucking a shot in off the right post.
• In the 84^th, they nearly doubled it. A point-blank opportunity from Daigle was broken up nicely, as Allen came off her line to make the save.
