Whippany, N.J. - The Seton Hall women's soccer team outshot LIU by a wide margin, but a 44th minute goal just before halftime lifted the Sharks past the Pirates, 1-0, Friday night at Red Bulls Training Facility.
Despite the deficit on the scoreboard, The Hall held a decisive advantage in shots over the Sharks, 16-6, including 6-1 on goal.
Turning Point
With the first half waning, LIU earned a corner kick that sailed into the box and got loose. LIU's Grace Cagnina got to the ball and fired a shot to the upper left corner of the net past a diving freshman goalkeeper Harpa Johannsdottir (Akureyri, Iceland) for the goal.
