Freshman Asia Pulse (New Haven, CT) got the
Purple Knights on the board first when she scored her seventh goal
of the season off a cross from junior Elin
Svsvarsdottir (Reykjavik, Iceland) at the 26:34
mark.
The match entered the second half with the Purple Knights
holding a 1-0 lead before junior Linda Velaj
(Stamford, CT) added an insurance goal to make the score 2-0 in
favor of Bridgeport at the 65:17 mark when she hit the back of net
of an assist from sophomore Katie Stanley (Oxon,
England).. The goal is Velaj's ninth of the year.
Freshman Becky Wallis (Rockville Centre, NY)
salted the game away with her second goal of the 2009 campaign with
just over five minutes to make the final score 3-0.
Junior goalkeeper Emeile Karstrom (Everod,
Sweden), who was named the ECC Tournament's Most Outstanding
Player, made seven saves to notch back-to-back clean sheets, after
blanking Queens, 2-0, in the semifinals.
Bridgeport will now await word on its opponent in the NCAA
Tournament. Pairings will be announced on Monday evening at
7:00 p.m.
