HOW IT HAPPENED:

After a scoreless first half, the Blazers scored the game's lone goal 37 seconds into the second frame. First-year Kelly Malheiro (Long Island, N.Y.) dribbled down the right flank and found senior Morgan Foucault (Putnam, CT) at the top of the 6-yard box.

FROM THE DESK OF COACH MILBIER:
"Conference road games are always difficult and today proved that. Dean came out with a ton of energy and put us under pressure. I'm very happy with the way we dealt with it and found a way to control the game. Anytime we pick up GNAC points it's a good day."
