Game Recap
Canisius freshman Gretta Dry's penalty kick in the 57th minute was all the Griffs need as they beat visiting Manhattan 1-0 Saturday afternoon. Fellow freshman goalkeeper Alana Rossi saved three shots as she posted her third shutout of her career. The win moves the Golden Griffins to 5-5-0 overall and 3-1-0 in MAAC play.

Canisius' shot production came mostly from senior Sabrina Fitzgerald as she aimed seven shots of the Griffs 16 near the net with two going on goal.

Dry continues to lead the Griffs in points (14), goals (5) and assists (4).

Coach Clark Postgame Comments
“The thing I was the most pleased with was the back-to-front energy. It was not necessarily a pretty game… we left a couple of goals, a couple close chances that we didn't finish… but when you win the game in spite of that… for as young as we are… in a weird way, it's even more satisfying.”
