Frobey's Goals Push Stags To 2-0 Win Over Siena

Oct 12, 2007

The Fairfield University women’s soccer continued its home winning streak with a 2-0 win over Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) foe Siena College on Lessing Field.  The Stags improve to 7-5-1 overall and 3-0-0 in league play, while the Saints fall to 3-7-1 on the year and 0-2-0 in MAAC play.

Siena controlled play for the first 30 minutes of the contest, and the score remained deadlocked at 0-0 until Casey Frobey (Sandy Hook, Conn.) scored a pair of goals in a 50 second span.  The first tally was a rocket that she sent to the top of the net from the right side of the box, off of a pass from Alex Caram (Lexington, Mass.).

The second goal was created by a nifty play by Nicole Cavallaro (New Hyde Park, N.Y.) who, with her back to the goal, flipped the ball over her head.  She spun between a pair of Siena defenders and fed Frobey outside the top of the box.  Frobey than pushed the ball past the Saints charging goalkeeper and into the net.

Siena out shot the Stags 8-6 in the game, taking all five of the second half shots, while the Stags did not record a chance in the second half.  Fairfield had a pair of corners, both in the first period, while the Saints had one.

Brett Maron (Billerica, Mass.) posted her sixth shutout of the year, and 23rd of her career, making four saves in 90 minutes of play.  Her Saints counterpart Patti Carroll allowed two goals and was not credited with a save in her 90 minutes.

The Stags will return to MAAC action on Sunday, Oct. 14, when they host Marist College at 7 p.m. on Lessing Field.  The Red Foxes are 5-3-2 overall and 2-0-0 in MAAC action.
