LOUDONVILLE, NY – Mariah Williams scored the game-winning goal and Jada Colbert and Christina Cernuto each added second half insurance tallies as UAlbany defeated Siena Women’s Soccer 3-0 at Siena Field. Junior goalkeeper Taylor Dorado made a season-high eight saves for the Saints.

UAlbany (4-3) held an 18-11 advantage in shots and a 7-5 margin in corners as Siena (3-2-1) suffered just its eighth non-conference home loss spanning the past 11 years.

Deanna Lomino and Ashleigh Sarafin paced the offense with a pair of shots apiece for the Saints which had entered play riding the program’s best start to a season in eight years.

Andrea Leitner made three saves for the Great Danes, highlighted by a key stop on a 39^th minute penalty kick to preserve a 1-0 UAlbany lead at that time. Williams had opened the scoring in the 12^th minute for the Great Danes.

Both teams registered seven shots apiece in the second half, but Colbert doubled the UAlbany lead in the 60^th minute before Cernuto put things away with her 77^th minute score.

Siena returns to action Sunday – and faces another America East opponent – when they head north to take on Maine in a 1 p.m. kickoff.
