HOW IT HAPPENED

• The goal was Sansone's first of the season and the third of her career.
• In the 53^rd minute, the Judges got an insurance goal. Junior midfielder Ali Pennella (Stamford, Conn./Greenwich) made a long run and was pulled down just at the top of arc at the top of the 18-yard box.
• First-year Moira Koleno (Chicago, Ill./Whitney M. Young Magnet) took the free kick and put it around the Anchorwomen's wall in inside the left post past a diving Orlandi.
