Hartford, Conn. - Sophomore forward Courtney Doyle (West Simsbury, Conn.) scored the game-winning goal with 23:12 remaining in the game to lead the Trinity College Bantams to a 2-1 victory over the visiting Smith College Pioneers in women’s soccer action this afternoon. Trinity improves to 4-4 with its third in win in the last four games. Smith dips to 5-3-2.

After a scoreless first half, played predominantly in Smith’s half of the field, Trinity opened the scoring on the first career goal for freshman midfielder Leah Felis (Stowe, Vt.) in the 57^{th minute. Trinity senior tri-captain back Anna Sullivan (Bridgewater, Vt.) lobbed the ball over the Smith defense and Felis ran it down, poking it past Smith senior tri-captain goalie Elisabeth Sandoe (Lebanon, N.H.).}

Smith tied the score at the 65:11 mark on a goal by freshman forward Abigail Larimer (New Orleans, La.), but Doyle lofted a shot from 40 yards out on the left sideline that found the right corner of the goal just 1:37 later.

Bantam senior tri-captain Sarah Bradley (Mansfield, Conn.) made Trinity’s two saves over the first 70 minutes before yielding to freshman goalie Brenna Shields (Cutchogue, N.Y.). Sandoe stopped 13 shots for Smith.
