Montclair, NJ (9/29/10) – Junior forward Samantha Sorokas (Plains, PA / Coughlin) scored with 7:09 remaining in the second half as Misericordia University halted Montclair State's win streak at six with a 1-0 victory over the Red Hawks at Sprague Field on Wednesday evening.

Sophomore goalkeeper Grace Riker (Bridgewater, NY / Mt. Markham) stopped six shots for her third shutout of the season as the Cougars won for the second time in three games, improving to 4-5 on the year. Sophomore goalkeeper MEGAN BOSLAND (Boonton, NJ / Boonton) made three saves for Montclair State, which suffered its first loss since falling to No. 9 Eastern University in the season opener on September 1.

Montclair State outshot Misericordia 10-5, but it was Cougars who got the only shot that would matter in the game. The Cougars had the ball in the MSU circle off a penalty corner, but could not come up with anything. Montclair attempted to clear the ball; however, it was pushed right back along the end line to Emily Foley (Hunlock Creek, PA / Northwest). Foley made a backhand pass to the center of the cage five yards out where Sorokas was able to smack the ball inside the left post for her team-best seventh goal of the year and the only score of the game.

Riker made that lead stand up as she made two crucial saves with just over 5:30 left in the game, stopping MELISSA FLAHERTY (Fishkill, NY / John Jay) twice on the right side from two yards out. Misericordia held the edge in penalty corners, 9-8.

Both teams return to action on Saturday, October 2. Montclair State heads to Schenectady, NY, to face Union College at 2:00 pm. Misericordia is home in Dallas, PA, for an 11:00 am matchup with Freedom Conference foe DeSales University.
