How it Happened
The Owls first goal of the season came as both teams scrambled with under a minute to play in the first half. At the 44:42 mark, junior defender Alexa Skinner set up Burzlaff for a shot with a corner kick. Burzlaff then headed the ball past Regis freshman goalkeeper Daniela Mazo for the goal.
 
KSC continued its offensive attack throughout the rest of the night. Senior midfield Kayleigh Marshall and freshman forward Joclynn Tyler each recorded a shot on goal for the Owls, but both attempts were stopped by Regis junior goalkeeper Cristina Nazario, who entered the game at the start of the second half. Meanwhile, Keene State freshman goalkeeper Moira Clancy made two saves to earn the shutout in her collegiate debut.
