Haverford, PA (08/31/03) - Junior forward STEPHANIE SABALIAUSKAS (Edison, NJ/Mt. St. Mary Academy) scored both goals as the Montclair State women's soccer team captured the Haverford Kickoff Classic with a 2-0 win over host Haverford on Sunday afternoon.

Junior SUSAN HINDS (Westfield, NJ/Westfield) stopped five shots and posted her second straight shutout as the Red Hawks (2-0-0) won the tournament for the second time in three years. MSU also claimed the championship in 2001.

Sabaliauskas, Montclair's leading goal scorer from a year ago, broke the scoreless tie just before the end of the half as she knocked in a shot from the 18-yard line past Haverford goalkeeper Jen Trowbridge.

She then extended the lead with 22 minutes remaining converting a penalty kick. Last year, Sabaliauskas had 13 goals on her way to being named to the All-NJAC First-Team and First-Team All-Region.

Montclair State outshot Haverford, 19-13, in the contest. Trowbridge made 11 saves.

The Red Hawks return to action on Friday, September 12th as they make their first appearance at MSU Soccer Park at Pittser Field taking on the Violets of New York University at 4:00 pm. It will be the first of seven games at Pittser Field for the women's soccer team. Montclair's last home game of the season will be at Sprague Field on October 31st.
