WASHINGTON, DC--Bison goalkeeper Amelia Palmer worked the net hard as her gloved hands stopped the ball 24 times, off a total of 31 shots put forth by Marymount in a 8-0 conference loss. Speedy forward Katie Romano worked the field hard, preventing further goals by pushing the ball out of bounds or deflecting passes with swift kicks. Marymount started its offensive surge two minutes into the first half, as Dana Zawolski outsmarted Palmer's deft handwork with an 8-yard shot into the net.  The Saints had five players scoring, with Zawolski, Carrie Schneider, and Emily Parent contributing two apiece.

Near the end of the first half, a big collision between the Bison's Palmer and Marymount's Katie Mahon left the Saint face-down on the field for nearly 30 minutes. The freshman forward had to be wheeled off the field with a neck injury.

In the second half, the Bison defense worked to contain the Saint offense, keeping the total offensive output to two goals until the last two minutes, with Parent and Schneider scoring about a minute apart.  The Bison continue training for their third game on Saturday, September 8 as they travel to Lincoln University in non-conference play.
