NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass. - The Keene State College women's soccer team scored once in each half to post a  2-0  Little East Conference victory over the Corsairs at the UMass Dartmouth Athletic Complex Saturday.

Senior midfielder Kendra Spencer (Petoskey, MI) put the Owls on the board when she dribbled in and scored unassisted in the 19^th minute. Senior forward Katie Bradford (West Lebanon, NH) capped the scoring when she converted a cross by junior midfielder Nora Mahoney (Belchertown, MA) and scored from short range in the 79^th minute. It was Bradford's team-leading eighth goal of the season.

The Owls out-shot the Corsairs, 16-4. Tanya Braga (Hudson, MA) made nine saves for UMass Dartmouth, while sophomore Meghan Dempsey (Weymouth, MA) made two saves for KSC in her fourth shutout of the season.

"We didn't play well as a team, but it's a Little East win and takes us one step closer to winning the regular season championship," said KSC Coach Denise Lyons.

KSC's last regular season title came in 2004.

UMass Dartmouth dropped to 4-8-1 and 1-3-0 in the Little East Conference with the defeat, while Keene State improved to 10-3-0 and 4-0-0 with the victory. The Owls will host Middlebury Wednesday evening at 6:30 p.m.
