SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - The Keene State College women's soccer team posted its second shutout in as many games, a 3-0 non-conference victory over Western New England College in Suprenant Field on Wednesday.  The Owls (2-0) opened their season with a 6-0 win over Norwich last Saturday.

 Keene State scored all of its goals in the final 20:13 of the match.

 The game remained scoreless until the 69^th minute of play when freshman midfielder Leah Teter (Granville, MA) scoreless netted her first college goal.  Sophomore forward Katie Bradford (Lebanon, N.H.) set up the goals with a crossing ball to Teter.  

 After freshman midfielder Sia Karamourtopoulos (Fremont, N.H.) was taken down in the box, Junior Kendra Spencer (Petoskey, MI) scored on a penalty kick six minute later as the Owls took a 2-0 advantage. Freshman midfielder Britini Watkinson (Rochester, NY) completed the scoring with her second goal of the season in the 85th minute.  Karamourtopoulos set up Watkinson's goal with a crossing ball to the right of the goal.

 "After a sluggish first half, we were able to generate some offense and put the ball in the net," said KSC Coach Denise Lyons.  "We have a young team, so it's nice to win our first road game of the season."  

The Owls outshot the Golden Bears 28-6.

Western New England College, which was making its season debut, received a fine performance from junior goalkeeper Jessica Covino (Bristol, CT) stopped 13 shots. Keene State junior Samantha Hirsh (Holliston, MA) had three saves.
