SELLITTO'S GOAL LIFT MONMOUTH PAST OLD DOMINION, 1-0
West Long Branch, NJ -- Senior midfielder Christina Sellitto
(Hazlet, NJ/Raritan) scored a goal 10:19 into overtime lifting Monmouth
(2-0) to a dramatic 1-0 victory over visiting Old Dominion (2-2) this afternoon.
It was the home opener for the Hawks, now off to their best start since
the 1995 season.
The game-winner came from an unlikely angle. Sellitto collected a
loose ball wide right of the goal box, dribbled once than rifled a shot
to the far side corner of the net. It was her first goal of the season.
Both teams had several golden opportunities to score early on. Monarchs
standout forward Melanie McGovern (Somerdale, NJ/Triton) hit
the near goal post at the 19:00 mark. Monmouth had its best chance
just minutes before halftime as senior Joyce Cacolice (Camp Hill,
PA/Cumberland Valley) broke in on Monarchs' 'keeper Tonya Dedmond
(North Potomac, MD/Upper Dublin) and whizzed a 20 yard shot that sailed
just high of the net.
On this day that belonged to goalkeepers Hawks junior Kristin Spohn (Parsippany,
NJ/Parsippany Hills) performed just a little bit better. Spohn posted
a game-high six saves en route to her second shutout of the season.
Dedmond recorded three saves for the Monarchs, who outshot Monmouth 17-12.
