New Haven, CT - Freshman goalkeeper Christina Dineson (Milford, CT) made two saves on a Penalty Kick in the 75th minute to preserve a 3-2 Lady Falcons victory over GNAC opponent Rivier College.  The 3-2 win marks the longest winning streak in the seven year history of the program at five straight. 

Rivier College found the back of the net first as freshman forward Kaitlyn Souza (Wilmington, MA) finished a cross from freshman midfielder Morgan Greene (Acworth, NH) in the 14th minute to take a 1-0 lead.  The Lady Falcons responded when sophomore forward Danielle Figueroa (Bridgeport, CT) scored an unassisted goal in the 20th minute to tie the game 1-1.  Rivier College saw Greene finish a cross from freshman midfielder Christina Parent (Loudon, NH) to take a 2-1 lead into halftime.

Albertus soared back into the game when junior midfielder Brittney Geremia (Northford, CT) tied the game 2-2 in the 62nd minute of play.  Figueroa would score her second goal of the afternoon making the score 3-2 as Geremia assisted her in the 70th minute to give Albertus the 3-2 lead.  A foul in the box with just 15 minutes remaining in the second half threatened to spoil the day for the Lady Falcons.  Souza would take the penalty kick as Dineson dug in attempting to save the afternoon.  Dineson made a spectacular diving save as she punched the ball in the upper 90 causing it to bounce off the post and across to the other side of the goal.  Rivier pounced on the rebound opportunity until Dineson somehow managed to reach her feet and make a second diving save on the play.  Rivier managed little offense after the penalty kick as Albertus would hold on to win it's record setting fifth straight game.

Albertus improves to 5-2, 3-0 GNAC while Rivier drops to 2-3, 1-1 GNAC on the season.  The Lady Falcons host Mitchell College at 4:00 pm on Tuesday.
