CANTON, NY (September 24, 2010) -- Senior forward Carolyn Demougeot scored her fifth goal of the season off a corner kick with just under 20 minutes to play in regulation time as the Vassar College women's soccer team held on for for a 2-1 victory over St. Lawrence in the 2010 Liberty League opener at Sandy MacAllaster Field Friday afternoon.

Demougeot was left unchecked in the middle as Elysa Greenberger sent a corner kick into the box from the left corner. Demougeot controlled the ball and snapped it back inside the left post for the go-ahead goal at 70:36.

The Saints came back from an early 1-0 deficit after Vassar sophomore Keiko Kurita scored her first goal of the season on a header off a corner kick from Greenberger just 8:52 into the game.

The Saints tied it up at 16:31 as junior Elena Rogers scored her second of the season after a Saint corner kick at 16:31. Katherine Polido served the ball into the box and while Rogers' first shot was blocked, she got her own rebound and put it past Vassar goalie Lexi Hutton to tie it at 1-1.
