Box Score

Game Program

St. Mary's City, Md. - The St. Mary's College of Maryland women's soccer team needed only one goal to open up its 2008 season with a shutout win Saturday afternoon over the 2007 Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Runners-Up, Frostburg State University, in non-conference action.

The Seahawks' lone goal came off the right foot of freshman midfielder Bridget McGovern (Wrentham, Mass./King Philip Regional) who buried a hard, low shot into the left corner past a diving Stephanie Gwinn (Ijamsville, Md./Urbana) at 74:11.

Before McGovern's goal, the majority of play happened between the penalty boxes, while the two goalkeepers hung tough on their goal line to keep the match scoreless for 74 minutes.  St. Mary's posted an edge on both corner kicks (7-6) and shots (15-10).

Senior Marie Oben (Glenn Dale, Md./St. Mary's, Annapolis) recorded the shutout win as Oben collected four stops.

Gwinn finished the afternoon with seven saves and one goal against for the Bobcats.

The Seahawks will be back on the pitch on Wednesday, September 3 when St. Mary's travels to Westminster, Md. to take on McDaniel at 4:00 in non-conference play.  FSU will host Eastern Mennonite in its next game on September 3 at 7:00.
