HONOLULU – The Chaminade University women's soccer team scored twice in the final nine minutes to pull out a 2-0 over Jessup University at Saint Louis Field.
Shannon Healy (Gilbert, Ariz./Campo Verde) accounted for both goals as the Silverswords won the third game in their season-ending four-game home stand.
Extending their winning streak to three, the 'Swords improved to 3-11-1 and 3-5 in the Pacific West Conference. They also moved up to sixth in the conference with nine points.
Healy, who has three goals in her last three games, is the first Silversword with a multi-goal game since
Haley Mo'okini against Concordia on Nov. 2, 2023.
The junior forward snapped a scoreless deadlock, elevating over a Jessup defender and headed in a corner kick from
Milan Cordone (Las Vegas/University of Northern Iowa/Coronado HS) at 81:21, the latest game-tying or go-ahead score since Nov. 12, 2023 when
Kenna Kiefer (Vail, Ariz./Cienega) had the equalizer in a 2-2 draw against Hawai'i Hilo.
It was Cordone's third assist, tying the team high with Kiefer, and her team-leading seventh point.
CUH put the game out of reach when
Marianna Carpenter (Castle Rock, Colo./University of North Dakota/Castle View HS) dribbled down the left sideline into the 18-yard box and, when Warriors goalkeeper Tyler Boren left the box for a challenge, made an easier flick to Healy who was all alone in front of the net for the goal with just 9 seconds remaining. Carpenter also got her first assist of the season.
Chaminade took a season-high-tying 16 shots, seven being on-goal. Healy led all attackers with four shots, as did
Sofia Desirello (Menifee, Calif./University of North Dakota/Paloma HS), while all of the former's shots were on frame. Cordone attempted three shots and
Brooke Perreira (Honolulu/Kaiser) two.
Sydney Bakritzes (Edina, Minn./University of North Dakota/Edina HS) made four saves to pick up the win.
Boren also had four stops in taking the loss for the Warriors (1-11-2, 1-6 PacWest).
The Silverswords will close out the season next Saturday when they host in-city rival Hawai'i Pacific University at the Saint Louis Field pitch for Aloha Senior Day. Kickoff is at 10 a.m. with the seniors being honored following the game.
