AMHERST, Mass. - University of Massachusetts senior Julie Morrissey scored the game's only goal in the 58th minute to help the Minutewomen (11-3-2, 5-1-1 Atlantic 10) to a 1-0 decision over St. Bonaventure (8-6-3, 3-2-2) on Sunday.

"We played well in the first 25 minutes but, as the game wore on, we lost our rhythm," commented head coach Manoj Khettry. 

Following a scoreless first half in which each team put three shots on target, Massachusetts broke through in the early part of the final period to earn the win, as Moa Mattson slipped a through ball behind the defense to Morrissey. Morrissey, working from the middle to her left, dodged Bona keeper Megan Junker and scored high.

"We picked up the pace [after the UMass goal], but really could only generate a few chances," said Khettry. "We still have work to do and I know our players are motivated to get positive results in order to qualify for the A-10 Tournament for a fourth consecutive year."

Junker returned to the starting lineup for the first time in six games and made five saves in the loss.

The Bonnies conclude the regular season next weekend in Philadelphia at Saint Joseph's and Temple.
