Box Score
OLD WESTBURY, NY (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) –The SUNY College at Old Westbury women's soccer team, playing their fourth game in a week, didn't show any signs of fatigue as the squad scored two goals late in the second half en route to a 2-0 victory over the Staten Island Dolphins on Tuesday afternoon from Panther Park.  With the win, the Panthers improve to 2-5 on the season.  The Dolphins meanwhile, drop to 4-2 on the year. 

Both teams were unable to find the back of the net in the first half, but Old Westbury held a 5-1 shot advantage while Staten Island had a 2-0 edge in corner kicks in the opening 45 minutes. 

In the second period, Old Westbury continued with the same offensive intensity from the first half, outshooting Staten Island, 7-3.  It wasn't until the 75:04 mark when JoAnna Kettell received a pass from Cristina Kettell and scored her third goal of the season to give the Panthers a 1-0 lead.  The goal proved to be the game-winner, the second of her career.  Old Westbury wasn't done, as Stephanie Maybie came through for the Panthers just 1:10 later.  Allison Pirone sent a ball to Maybie, scoring her team-leading fifth goal of the season to extend the lead to 2-0.

At the end of the day, the Panthers held a 12-4 edge in shots and 6-2 on target, while Staten Island had the advantage in corner kicks (5-0).  Old Westbury goalie Caitlin Thomas made two saves and tied Chynna Pitlock for the program record with her sixth career shutout.
