WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Gallaudet women's soccer team garnered its first winning streak of the season with a 1-0 victory over North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) opponent Morrisville State on Saturday at Hotchkiss Field. The win also marked the eighth straight game in which GU has held opponents to three goals or less.

The two teams were set to head into halftime scoreless until sophomore Maddie Morgan (Hockessin, Del.) scored the game's first and only goal in the 44th minute. The opportunistic play six yards away from the net marked her third goal of the season.

The Bison (6-7, 4-4 NEAC) never gave away the lead as Gallaudet defense played superbly once again. Sophomore goalie Kara Gulvas (Crown Point, Ind.) earned her second shutout of the season by pushing away three shots by Morrisville State (1-11, 0-8 NEAC). The collective defensive effort was led by junior Janaee Cobbs (Sacramento, Calif.), sophomore Connor Crawford (Palatka, Fla.) and freshmen Lauren Sprague (Grafton, Mass.) and Taryn Philippi (St. Cloud, Minn.). The offensive attack was led by sophomore Johanna Arrigo (Ewing, N.J.) and freshman Lauren Hostovsky (Medfield, Mass.) with four shots apiece.

The team has a quick turnaround between games as they return to Hotchkiss Field on Sunday, October 17, for a noon showdown against conference opponent Cazenovia (5-8, 5-4 NEAC). The Wildcats currently sit one place ahead of the Bison in the NEAC standings.
