MIDDLEBURY, Vt. 9/17/08 - The Keene State College women's soccer team saw its modest two game wining streak come to an end with a 2-0 non-conference shutot loss to Middlebury College on Wedneday afternoon.

The Panthers (1-3-1)scored twice in the second half to earn a 2-0 victory and its first win of the season.

Following a scoreless first half, Nora Tomlinson-Weintraub put the Panthers on the board just 2:17 into the second half, with a line drive rocket from 18 yards out. Jenny Galgano gave the Panthers some breathing room at 70:34 with a hard shot from the top of the box that sailed over the head of Keene State freshman goalkeeper Megan Dempsey (Wemouth, Mass.) who finished the game with five saves. Lauryn Torch made four saves in goal to pick up the shutout victory for the Panthers.

KSC had 11 shots, two each from sophomore Katie Bradford (Lebanon, N.H.), freshman Shannon Hennessey (Essex Junction, Vt.), and freshman Britini Watkinson (South Hampton, N.H.)

The Owls (5-2) will be at Southern Maine on Saturday (1 p.m.) for its first LEC game on the season.
