Shelley Mirmina (Milford, Conn.) scored the game-winning goal as the Albertus Magnus women's soccer team defeated Norwich 1-0 to open 2013 Great Northeast Athletic Conference play on Saturday.

The Falcons (4-1-1, 1-0-0) outshot the Cadets 34-3 on the night as Mirmina led the charge with 16 shots. For the Falcons, it was their first-ever win in Northfield, Vt. against the Cadets.

Norwich's senior goalkeeper Allison Hull made 21 saved for the Cadets. Norwich falls to 0-4 on the year. 

Senior Meghan Loughman (Trumbull, Conn.) found Mirmina on the left side of the 18-yard box and placed a pass over to Mirmina's feet before she buried the ball for her third goal of the season.

Albertus Magnus threatened throughout the first half, including Mirmina drilling the cross bar from around the six-yard box. 

The Falcons continued to control the game in the second half and had a flurry of chances from freshman Kaitlyn Fedumenti. Hull made a superb diving save on one of Fedumenti's chances with 13:50 left in the game. She also came up big to rob Meaghan Skidmore by coming off her line to make a leg save with 6:52 to play.

Albertus Magnus had nine corner kicks to Norwich's one.

The Falcons will host Connecticut College on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m.
