NORTHFIELD, Vt.  – The Norwich University women's soccer team broke a five-game losing streak with a 1-0 victory over Anna Maria College on Friday night in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) action on Sabine Field at Haynes Family Stadium. 

Senior Mehgan McMullen (Northfield, Vt.) scored the game's lone goal, while junior Leandra Flores-Nieves (Colorado Springs, Colo.) stopped all three shots she faced to lead the Cadets to their first league win of the season. 

Norwich (2-6-1, 1-4-0 GNAC) won for the first time since Sept. 5, when the Cadets beat Johnson State 2-0 in the NU Women's Soccer Classic. 

McMullen scored with a rocket into the top corner of the net after a deflected ball kicked out to her near the top of the 18. The goal was her second of the season. She also led Norwich with 15 shots in the game and five on target. 

Anna Maria's Kate Kneeland made 14 saves to fall to 2-8-0 on the year, while Flores-Nieves improved to 2-5-1. 

Norwich outshot Anna Maria 37-3 in the game. The AMCATS fell to 2-8-0 on the season and 1-4-0 in league play. 

The Cadets will look to keep up the momentum when they travel to face Simmons on Wednesday, Oct. 5 for another GNAC matchup.
