GREENSBORO, N.C. - The UNC Greensboro women's soccer
team and George Mason battled to a 0-0 tie, in game
four of the 2003 UNCG/adidas Classic Presented by USA
Staffing, Sunday afternoon at the UNCG Soccer Stadium.
George Mason (2-0-1) outshot the Spartans, 14-7 on the
afternoon. Spartan sophomore goalkeeper Jennifer
Stillman (Randolph, N.J.) led the UNCG defense with
six saves.
"Im real proud of my group," said UNCG head coach
Eddie Radwanski. "We came out with a Spartan-like
performance. We worked hard for the shutout, George
Mason is a very good team, we knew they would come out
and give us a tremendous effort. I felt both teams
represented themselves well today. It was a great
college soccer game."
In the first match of the afternoon, Hofstra defeated
LaSalle, 3-1. LaSalle got on the board first as Krista
Lee scored on a header off a perfect cross from Rachel
Tobin a the 38:41 mark of the first half. Lee's header
beat the keeper in the left side of the net.
LaSalle had a chance to build upon its lead when Lee
was awarded a penalty kick at the 28:26 mark. Lee's
shot was stopped on a terrific play by Rebecca
Wachsberger. Seconds later Hofstra's Elyse
Bizzozzaro's shot from the left side of the field went
off the crossbar, but the Pride's Marisa Pistone
gathered the loose ball and scored on a blast from 25
yards out to tie the score at one goal apiece.
Hofstra's Dolores Deasley was awarded a penalty kick
after LaSalle's Jessica Eisele yellow card. Deasley
calmly placed the shot in the right side past a diving
Marissa Suarez at the 23:51 mark of the second half to
give the Pride a 2-1 advantage.

the 8:22 mark of the second half when Bizzozzaro's
goal gave them a 3-1 lead. Bridget Pentra and Deasley
