ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. (Nov. 11, 2006) -- Montclair State freshman Natalia Sisti scored the game's only goal in the 56th minute Saturday as Montclair State of New Jersey defeated Nazareth, 1-0, in the first round of the NCAA Division III Tournament for women's soccer.

Montclair State (13-6-3) will play again Sunday at 2 p.m. against host Elizabethtown, a 3-2 winner over Richard Stockton in Saturday's second game. Nazareth's season ends at 9-7-3.

"We played probably one of our best game of the season, but we just couldn't finish," said Nazareth Coach Gail Mann. "It's sad that our season ended this way."

Nazareth had a 9-2 shot advantage in the first half and an 18-10 edge overall, but the Golden Flyers were unable to score on Montclair State goalkeeper Kristin Kuhmann, who made seven saves for the shutout. Junior goalie Shannon Burns (pictured) made four saves for the Golden Flyers.

Montclair State took advantage of an errant Nazareth goal kick as Lara Kaminsky was able to gather the loose ball and feed Sisti, who broke in alone on Burns for the winning goal.
