'PROVIDENCE, R.I. 10/19/02 - Junior Erin Lester's (Walpole, N.H.) goal at the 75:08 mark of the second half lifted Keene State College to a 1-0 victory over Rhode Island College in a Little East Conference women's soccer game played Saturday in Providence, R.I.

It was the ninth win in the last 10 games for KSC (13-2-1, 4-0 LEC), which remains undefeated in LEC play. RIC goes to 6-6-1 (2-1-1 LEC).

Lester's game-winner, her team-leading 12th goal of the season came on a pass from Sarah Miller (Walpole, N.H.) a former teammate of Lester's at Fall Mountain High School.

KSC dominated play throughout the game, but could not get another ball by RIC goalie Melissa Carpentier, who finished with 11 saves and yielded her first goal and conference action.  Michelle Mason (Fairport, N.Y.) turned aside two shots to notch her seventh shutout of the season.

KSC travels to Eastern Conn on Tuesday (3 p.m.) for a LEC showdown with the warriors that could determine home field for the upcoming LEC Tournament.
