Wilkes-Barre, Pa. – The College of Mount Saint Vincent Women's Soccer team had its three game winning streak stopped on Wednesday night with a tough 1-0 road loss at King's (Pa.). Junior goalkeeper Kelly Hilly (Massapequa, N.Y.) played a strong game for the Dolphins and made nine saves.
 
Despite being outshot 10-1 in the opening 45 minutes on Wednesday, the Dolphins and Monarchs went into the halftime intermission tied at 0-0. King's also held a 5-0 edge in corner kicks in the opening period, but Hilly made five stops to keep it scoreless after one stanza.
 
The game remained deadlocked into the second half, until Ivy Nulton caused a turnover and converted it into the game winning goal at the 67:16 mark of the contest. It was all the scoring the Monarchs needed as they improved to 4-2 on the season.
 
Hilly would go on to make four more saves in the second half for the Dolphins to keep it a one goal game. It marked a season-high in saves for Hilly, whose previous high was two on two occasions. Her counterpart from King's, Jessica Natale, picked up the win without having to make a save.
 
The Monarchs dominated in shots on Wednesday, outshooting the Dolphins 25-1 overall and 10-0 in shots on goal. Shannon Doyle (Central Islip, N.Y.) recorded the only shot for the Mount in the contest. King's also took all seven corner kicks in the match, while fouls were even at five apiece.
 
Wednesday's loss drops Mount Saint Vincent to 4-2 overall on the season. The Dolphins will open Skyline Conference play on Saturday when they play host to Maritime. Kick-off at Tibbetts Brook Park is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
