WSOC: Lasell edged by Roger Williams; Austin scores goal for Lasers

BRISTOL, R.I. – The Lasell University women's soccer team out-shot Roger Williams University 19-11 Monday afternoon but could only put one ball into the net and dropped a 2-1 decision to the Hawks in a non-conference game at Bayside Field.

Bianca Robbins (Johnston, R.I.) scored both goals for the hosts, while senior Olivia Austin (Burlington, Mass.) scored her first goal of the season for Lasell.

Robbins scored her first goal six minutes in to give RWU the 1-0 lead. The Lasers came back in the 38th minute with a goal from Austin to tie the game 1-1. A Laser foul was called inside the penalty box with 10 minutes left in regulation, and Robbins took the kick and put it in the bottom left corner of the net for the 2-1 win.

Lasell had a 13-5 advantage in shots in the first half, and 19-11 overall. RWU's Morgan McCutcheon (Danbury, Conn.) made six saves to earn the win, while sophomore Angela Sanzari (North Haven, Conn.) made two saves for the Lasers.
