ALBANY, N.Y. – Senior forward Hallie Klosterman (Modena, NY/Wallkill) recorded a goal and an assist as Russell Sage College defeated visiting Keene State 2-0 tonight at the ACP Athletic Complex.
In the 40th minute, freshman forward Teagan Breton (Troy, NY/Catholic Central) opened the scoring with her first collegiate goal. Klosterman took a pass from senior midfielder Angela Gonzalez (Hoosick Falls, NY/Hoosick Falls Central) to break in alone on Keene State goalkeeper Rebecca Koziara. The first-team All-Empire 8 Conference player slid the ball past the charging Owl keeper for Breton to tap into the open net.
Klosterman (above) added to the RSC lead in the 60th minute, depositing a feed from senior forward Natalie Ricci (Cohoes, NY/Cohoes) past Koziara.
Freshman goalkeepers Kierstin Lynch (Schenectady, NY/Schalmont) (Win, 7-4-0) and Emma DeMatteo (Groton, NY/Groton Central) combined to make four saves in the non-conference victory. Koziara (Loss, 2-3-0) stopped four RSC shots.
