OLD WESTBURY, N.Y.-The SUNY College at Old

Mount Saint Mary all game long, but a pair of goals by Lauren Dorsa
propelled the visiting Blue Knights to a 2-0 victory, spoiling the
Panthers home opener Saturday afternoon at Panther Park. Old

the score. Dorsa would strike again in the 67th
minute on a cross by Colleen Ryan for a header past Ciccarelli,
giving the Blue Knights a 2-0 advantage.
