LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. – Dana Costello scored in the waning minutes of each half as Monmouth shutout women’s soccer 2-0 on the Saints’ Senior Day. The defeat snapped a four-match unbeaten streak for the Saints.

All six seniors started for Siena (7-6-1, 3-2-1) including Schenectady native Erin Kelly who made her third start of the season. Kelly made two saves including an impressive diving stop to her right in the 55^th minute to deny a penalty kick.

But red-hot Monmouth (11-1-1, 5-0-1) was too much in running its unbeaten streak to seven matches which now includes five shutouts.

Off a turnover deep in the Siena zone, Costello scored the first of her two goals in the 42^nd minute. The tally ended Siena’s shutout streak at an impressive 337:42 spanning three-plus matches.

Costello added a key insurance tally in the 83^rd minute, helping to keep the Hawks atop the MAAC Standings.  Monmouth out-shot the Saints 18-11 and held a 7-3 edge in corners in the first meeting between the two new MAAC foes.

Siena has two home matches remaining including its next contest Wednesday vs. Canisius at 3 p.m.
