Hartford, Conn.9/23/09 - No. 10 Trinity College shutout No. 20 Keene State 2-0 in a battle of nationally-ranked field hockey teams at Robin Sheppard Field in Hartford on Wednesday.

After opening their season with six consecutive shutouts, the 20th-ranked Owls (6-2) have dropped their last two games.

The win for 10th-ranked Trinity marks their second consecutive victory over a nationally ranked opponent this season, coming off a 2-0 win over then No. 11-ranked Middlebury College.  The Bantams run their record to a perfect 5-0.

First-year midfielder Michele Williams (Bulawayo, Zimbabwe) scored two goals, the second and third of her career, to lead the Bantams.

Williams scored within the first eight minutes of the game and added another in the 19th minute to give the Bantams an early 2-0 lead.  The stingy Trinity defense did not allow Keene State back into the game, allowing just four shots, all stopped by sophomore goalkeeper Gina DiNallo (West Hartford, Conn.), who collected her second straight shutout.  DiNallo has allowed just five goals in five games this season.

Keene State senior goalkeeper Vikki Stoessel (Derry, N.H.) was put to work all night, but came up with a season high 16 saves to highlight the statistical page for both sides.

The Owls return to Little East action on Saturday when they host Bridgewater State at 1:30 p.m.
