ORONO,
Maine - Senior Carole
LeBlanc (Grand-Digue, New Brunswick) scored in the
27th minute to lead the University of New Hampshire women's soccer
team to a 1-0 victory against the University of Maine on
Sunday at Alumni Field.
The Wildcats improve to
6-6-3 on the season, including 2-2-0 in America East play, while

LeBlanc netted her third
goal of the season, all of which have come in the last four
matches, when she collected a loose ball off a free kick and beat
Maine goalkeeper Meagan Price-Leibenzeder to give her team the 1-0
lead. It was LeBlanc's second game-winning tally in the last three
contests.
Freshman goalkeeper
Erica Correa (Cheshire, Conn.) made five saves -
including four in the second half - to earn the fourth shutout
of her career, as well as America East Player of the Game honors
for the Wildcats. Carolyne Nellis was named the America East Player
of the Game for Maine. Price-Leibenzeder stopped four shots for the
Black Bears.
UNH held a 16-10 shot
advantage, including 8-4 in the first half, and also edged Maine in
corner kicks, 3-1.
The Wildcats return to
action Thursday, Oct. 14 at 3:30 p.m. when they play host to Stony
Brook University at Lewis Fields.
