Women’s Soccer Moves into First Place with Win over Stonehill

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – The Merrimack women’s soccer team picked up its seventh win in eight matches Monday, defeating Stonehill College 2-0 at Warrior Field.

Gabrielle Gramprey (Brockton, MA) scored both goals, giving her 12 on the season, tied for second in the conference.

The win puts the Warriors into a first-place tie with Saint Rose in the Northeast-10 standings. Merrimack defeated Saint Rose 5-0 earlier this season, thus the Warriors have the tiebreaker over the Golden Knights with four regular season games remaining.

For the second straight game, the Warriors struck in the game’s first five minutes as Gramprey took a nifty feed from Jessie DeGraan (Braintree, MA) and maneuvered around her defender and the goaltender and buried it into the vacated net for the goal.

Gramprey doubled Merrimack’s lead midway through the first half as she stole the ball from a Skyhawk defender, dribbled around another, and fired it past goaltender Marissa Bramwell for her 12th of the season.

The Warriors controlled the ball for most of the match, outshooting the Skyhawks 16-9. Shannon Rowan (Fair Haven, NJ) picked up her fifth shutout of the year, stopping five shots in the win.

Merrimack improves to 5-0 at home this season, with one regular season home game left. The Warriors (9-2-2, 7-2-1 NE-10) are at Southern New Hampshire Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m.
