Two set pieces lifted the No. 18 Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ women’s soccer team to a 2-0 win over Temple on Thursday’s crisp, fall afternoon.<\/p>\n

Senior Alex Piercy played a part in both goals, scoring the first and assisting the second to extend the Knights’ win streak to 10-consecutive matches – the program’s longest such streak since 2009.<\/p>\n

Piercy put her team on the board just before the eighth minute with her second game-winner of the season. A corner kick from senior Jennifer Martin got to junior Ashley Spivey first, and she managed to forward it on to Piercy, whose header bounced in past keeper Shauni Kerkhoff.<\/p>\n

“It felt great. I’m not the tallest of the bunch but whenever I can get my head in front of the goal, I just focus on that,” Piercy said.<\/p>\n

Martin nearly scored herself in the 22nd minute when her strike was tipped over the crossbar.<\/p>\n

The Knights (13-2-0, 6-0-0 AAC)<\/a> got one more in just before halftime, again off a corner. Piercy’s kick connected with freshman Bridget Callahan’s head for her third goal of the year as time was winding down.<\/p>\n

“It was the last 30 seconds and I was just worried about getting the ball in the box. I was looking for our runners’ heads and just getting it somewhere in front of the six,” Piercy said. “Bridget made a great run in the box and got her head on it.”<\/p>\n

Sophomore Karoline Heinze nearly added another when her shot ricocheted off a Temple defender and hit the crossbar.<\/p>\n

But Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½’s two goals proved to be enough to clinch the win and the team’s 10th shutout of the season as well as its fourth in a row. For the fifth time this season, the Knights successfully held an opponent to zero shots on goal.<\/p>\n

“Temple is a good team and they like to have a lot of numbers behind the ball. It could get frustrating, so I’m glad we were able to put one away early,” Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ head coach Tiffany Roberts Sahaydak said. “It kind of takes the pressure off, and then we felt like we could play the way we wanted to play, which I thought we did and we continued to play well throughout the game.”<\/p>\n

Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ continues its road trip to UConn on Sunday at noon. The Huskies were picked second in the American Athletic Conference preseason poll behind the Knights.<\/p>\n

“We have a lot of respect for UConn. They have a great team and Rachel Hill is a special player. Played for our U.S. U20 team. She has a lot of experience,” Roberts Sahaydak said. “Defensively, we’re going to have to be really sharp and have really good cover on Sunday, but I also want us to focus on our style and be able to attack with numbers.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two set pieces lifted the No. 18 Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ women’s soccer team to a 2-0 win over Temple on Thursday’s crisp, fall afternoon.
